From VK to C in 50 Scholarship
This scholarship was established by the Ottawa Community Foundation at the request of one of their donors. From VK to C in 50 scholarships have been established by an anonymous donor to mark his 50th anniversary in Canada. Arriving here as a refugee, he benefited from the education system in this country and went on to become a world-class nation builder in his professional life. Turning to philanthropy in his retirement, he is offering scholarships in every province and territory to mark this special occasion and to thank Canada for the opportunities it afforded him. VK is Velke Kapusany, Slovakia, the donor’s birthplace, while C signifies Canada. The Ottawa Community Foundation is pleased to facilitate this act of generosity from coast to coast to coast. Valued at $2,000 annually, this renewable scholarship will be awarded to a full-time student entering their first year at Memorial University of Newfoundland who meets the minimum academic requirements for a scholarship as defined by the University.
