The Vari Scholarship

Through a very generous donation from the George and Helen Vari Foundation, Victoria College offers an admission award valued at $10,000 to a student who plans to pursue a career in teaching at the secondary level in Ontario.

 Submission Deadline: January 16, 2004

The Award
 The Vari Scholarship/Bursary was established to encourage secondary students to seriously consider teaching at the secondary level as a career. Each year several students entering Victoria College for studies in the Faculty of Arts and Science at the University of Toronto will receive an admissions award of $10,000, renewable for three subsequent years, and for an additional year at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto. (Total value of $50,000). Renewal of the award is conditional upon the maintenance of a sessional average in the A range (GPA 3.50+). There are three scholarships available for 2004.

Criteria

  • Nominees must demonstrate through extracurricular activities a genuine interest and commitment to teaching as a profession.
  • Nominees must have achieved high academic standing.
