ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The purpose of the COCHF Diversity Scholarship is to recognize people living in housing co-ops who are actively promoting diversity through work within their community. We want to help them with their post-secondary education by providing them with award money.

Scholarships are made possible by the CHFT Charitable Fund.

The Diversity Scholarship is based upon the Co-operative Principle #6: Co-operation Among Co-operatives. By working together, we are able to provide the most effective products & services for housing co-operatives.

 2018 Application Process is Open – Submission Deadline is
May 31st 2018, at 4pm.
