Sixteen new recipients have been named Canerector Foundation Scholars for the 2023-24 academic year. These students are from manufacturing, transportation and construction programs offered at our three campuses.
This scholarship program was established to help increase the recruitment and skills shortages, not only in Ontario, but across Canada. It is open to level 1 students entering into one of thirteen eligible Algonquin College programs. Recipients will receive $1,000 per term, up to a maximum of $4,000. Along with financial support, this mentorship program provides wrap-around support facilitated by a program staff lead, who helps students navigate their specific situation and achieve their program objectives. This extra support increases the recruitment, retention, and employability of students.
