The Springboard Cameron Scholarship (SCS) provides aspiring students with annual awards of up to $5,000, helping them overcome barriers to higher education. This scholarship is aimed at individuals who are committed to pursuing post-secondary education or training but face significant challenges, particularly financial hardship. Awards typically range from $500 to $2,000, with $5,000 distributed annually. In exceptional cases, a single award of $5,000 may be granted to a particularly deserving applicant.
The Cameron Scholarship was established in 2006, with the first grant awarded in 2007. Funded by the DOMAC Fund—created by the late Mac Cameron in memory of his wife Dorothy—the scholarship is administered by The Toronto Community Foundation. Each year, one or more scholarships are awarded to Springboard clients who demonstrate academic potential, financial need, and resilience in overcoming personal challenges. The scholarship is managed by the Cameron Scholarship Committee, which includes former Board members and individuals with connections to Springboard.Â
Thanks to the DOMAC Fund, Springboard continues to support students in their educational pursuits, helping them achieve their full potential.
