Scholarships
About
One of the main objectives of the United Croats of Canada, King Tomislav Branch, is to contribute to the enhancement and education of Croatian culture. This is partly manifested through the many activities of the Croatian Cultural Centre such as teaching folk dancing, music, and song; providing Croatian language instruction; and other similar activities. In furtherance of this objective, the United Croats of Canada, King Tomislav Branch, has an established Scholarship Fund for students entering post-secondary education.
The United Croats of Canada, King Tomislav Branch scholarship fund is maintained by donations from the Society as well as the Croatian and broader communities. All charitable donations made by the public are income tax deductible and a receipt is issued by the United Croats of Canada, King Tomislav Branch for this purpose.
Scholarships are available each year based on available funds and are for full time attendance at either a university, college, or technical/vocational institute. They are intended for initial post-secondary schooling and are not available for graduate work.
