Golden Jubilee Web Banner

Founded in Toronto in 1964 as a charitable organization to promote Chinese culture and heritage through caring for the elderly and nurturing the young, Mon Sheong Foundation provides programs and services to the elderly and to the young in response to the needs of Canada’s culturally diverse communities.

Created to commemorate Mon Sheong Foundation’s 50th anniversary, the Mon Sheong Golden Jubilee Scholarship is presented annually to secondary school or CEGEP graduates who demonstrate well-rounded excellence and a desire to make real change, whether in their communities or around the world. The award recognizes academic achievements, community contributions and strength of personal character. We are proud to celebrate exemplary students and empower them to reach their full potential in their post-secondary studies.

This year, Mon Sheong Foundation will select two (2) new recipients for the Golden Jubilee Scholarship. Each recipient will receive $1,000 per year for the duration of their studies, up to a maximum of four (4) years (subject to renewal requirements).

The award is open to all students who are:

  1. Graduating from an Ontario high school or CEGEP with a minimum average of 80% among their top 6 Grade 12 or CEGEP marks;
  2. Enrolled full-time in a degree or diploma program at a recognized and publicly funded Canadian university or college beginning Fall 2025; and
  3. Passionate about making a difference in their community or the world.

Applicants must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents.

Our Awards Committee will evaluate applicants based on:

  • Academic performance
  • Volunteering and community engagement
  • Leadership skills
  • Strength of character
  • Aspiration to make a difference

Award winners will be required to attend a special presentation and networking event with current Scholarship recipients in August.
