Scholarships and Awards
Acknowledgements:
The Scholarship and Bursary Guide was originally compiled by the Association for the Advancement of Blacks in Health Sciences and by the Association of Black Employees of Hydro. We acknowledge their forward thinking in providing a compact guide to assist the communities’ students in accessing financial support for the continuation of their schooling. The guide provided a listing of awards given for exceptional achievement.
Recognizing and encouraging our youths’ abilities and supporting their need is one of the responsibilities of all communities. It is for this reason that Community Unity Alliance is continuing this tradition by providing the 2005 edition of this guide. It is the hope of the CUA that this will provide a base for the educational advancement of many students in our communities.

The Community Unity Alliance (CUA) is a not-for-profit organization designed to assist community based groups in becoming independent.
By providing supervision, training and administrative support, CUA helps create autonomous community oriented resource groups for our emerging multi-ethnic population. The formation of community based groups assists in the preservation and enhancement of ethnic identities within the Canadian Mosaic. As ethnic populations become more firmly established, community groups acquire more support from their community members and gradually become self-sufficient.
CUA partners to provide resources, experience, skills and training to assist in this path to independence.
