Program details
The Scholarship Program provides up to $5,000 per year to support the post-secondary and post-graduate education for children who qualify.
In 2007, Canada Company established the Scholarship Program to recognize the sacrifice Canada’s military members make in service to our country, and to honour their legacy through the children they have left behind.
Program Funding
The program is funded by corporate and individual donors. It began in 2007 with $1 million in leadership funding from CIBC. At the program’s outset, Canada Company was also able to secure funding from:
- The late Peter Munk, Founder and Chairman of Barrick Gold Corporation
- James Balsillie, Former Co-Chief Executive Officer of Research In Motion (RIM)
- R B & H Inc.
- Paul Desmarais, President and Co-CEO of Power Corporation of Canada
- W. Garfield Weston Foundation
- Bank of Montreal
