Tips for Applicants

This is not a traditional grant-making foundation but rather an education service provider. Scholarships and support programs are available to students enrolling in TCE schools. Focus applications on student need, academic potential, and alignment with Catholic values. First Nations students have dedicated pathways and should emphasize cultural connection and leadership potential. Contact individual schools directly for scholarship applications rather than the central office.

Giving Philosophy

Focused on providing Catholic education with a strong emphasis on First Nations education, inclusion, and equity. Operates through direct service delivery via schools rather than traditional grant-making. Prioritizes programs that support Indigenous students through dedicated initiatives like the Emerging Leaders Incentive Scheme and First Nations Education Awards, alongside vocational training and scholarships for disadvantaged students.
