The CST Founders’ Awards were created in honour of five individuals who were instrumental in creating and establishing the Canadian Scholarship Trust Foundation – Peter Wright, Arthur Pigott, Rowland Lloyd, Gladys Neale, and Kenneth Carter. These awards support CST’s RESP beneficiaries who have already completed an initial post-secondary program and are looking to continue their education through another post-secondary program. The funds can be used to cover the cost of tuition and other school-related expenses such as books and supplies.
The awards are for students who demonstrate financial need, and whose financial need may make it difficult for them to continue their studies. When making the selection, preference will be given to students who are the first in their family to pursue post-secondary education.
We believe education has the power to transform lives and communities and are passionate about helping families achieve higher learning.
The CST Foundation supports the pursuit of higher education through financial assistance and partnerships with learning-focused community organizations. Since 1960, we have helped over 600,000 families access post-secondary education.
