The deadline for students to apply is Monday, April 20, 2026 at 4:30pm. Applications and information are available online at www.cffla.ca.
“The Community Foundation will be disbursing $83,000 to L&A high school students entering university, college, or trades school thanks to the generosity of local donors who have established funds to support post-secondary education,” according to Bob Baker, Executive Director. “As of this year, the Community Foundation will have awarded nearly $1 million in awards to students residing in Lennox & Addington.”
Awards range from $250 to $5,000. Student Award descriptions and applications can be found on the Foundation’s website.
There are eleven distinct funds that support up to 30 individual awards. This includes the Charlotte Uens Education Award, made possible by a donation from Stuart Uens in remembrance of his mother, Charlotte, to help those students who share the Uens’ values of hard work and education by providing annual scholarships to graduates of Napanee District Secondary School. Successful applicants will receive up to $5000 in support for their post-secondary education in a university, college, or apprenticeship programs.
Additional awards include Camden East Women’s Institute Award, Goodyear Award, 100th Anniversary Social Work Award, Lloyd Seeley Family Award, Mary Jo Field Indigenous Student Award, Napanee Sports Association Award, Rotary Club of Napanee Service Above Self Student Award, Trustee Laurie French Youth Leadership Award, and Werk Poole Student Award.
