The Merit Award Bursary Program
The Merit Award Bursary Program
was started in 1996 by a group of Toronto residents. They felt it is important to provide support and incentive to encourage high school students to stay in school and achieve to the best of their abilities. The late Mr Justice John Sopinka of the Supreme Court of Canada was the first Honourary Chair of the Program, which is administered entirely by volunteers.
The Merit Award bursaries are $500 each. The first bursaries were awarded to 20 high school students in the former City of York in the Fall of 1996. The Program was expanded to include the former Borough of East York in 1997. In the spring of 2007, the Merit Award Bursary Program awarded 89 bursaries to students at selected schools across Toronto.
