CFUW Nepean Scholarship Trust (the Trust), is a charitable organization operating under Canada Revenue Agency rules, providing financial encouragement and support to women students pursuing post-secondary education at Algonquin College.

Since its establishment in 1996 by members of CFUW Nepean (Club), over $72,000 in financial assistance has been distributed to deserving women in various diploma programs.

In 2026, the Trust, managed by a five-member volunteer Board of Trustees, oversaw the disbursement of $10,500 to seven students – three scholarships and four bursaries of $1,500 each, an increase of $500 for each recipient. This increase was made possible thanks to the generosity of Club members through fundraising activities and personal donations.

Donations are welcome at any time. Many members find the easiest and preferred way to donate is by credit card on Algonquin College’s website on Giving Tuesday, which will be on December 1, 2026.  In past years, Algonquin College has matched the majority of our club donations through a corporate sponsorship program and it is hoped this tradition will continue.

Donations by credit card or of publicly traded securities can be made securely online through CanadaHelps. To make a donation online, go to https://bit.ly/CFUWNSchol or scan the QR code. CanadaHelps will email a tax receipt directly to you.

Donations can also be made via e-transfer at cfuwnepeantrust@gmail.com or by cheque. Cheques should be made payable to CFUW Nepean Scholarship Trust and mailed to: Teresa McCrory, 14 Forest Creek, Stittsville, Ontario, K2S 1L6.

Tax receipts will be issued for donations over $20.  Should you wish to receive an acknowledgement, please provide your contact information.
