The
Scholarship Fund
The Scholarship Fund was established in
September 1988 as a separate entity with its own Constitution. Its
purpose is to manage the capital which provides funding for the club's
awards. The Fund is audited annually following its year end on May
31.
As stated in the Constitution, the object of the Scholarship Committee
[the Fund] shall be to advance and promote the education of women
through the provision of scholarships. All monies shall be
used solely for promoting its object. There are five [5]
trustees of the fund, their tasks being
1. To record all donations and income, invest the monies and
disburse when needed.
2. To promote the fund and participate and initiate fund
raising activities.
The Scholarship Fund is a registered charity. Tax receipts are
issued for donations, including the portion of each member's annual
fees that are designated for the Scholarship Fund.
Donations to the Fund are welcome and should be made payable to the
"University Women's Club of Oakville Scholarship Fund".
