A scholarship is an award of access to an institution or a financial aid award for an individual (a "scholar") for the purposes of furthering their education. Our scholarships are awarded based on the criteria, which usually reflect the views or purposes of our association and institution.

CAST-UTECH Alumni Association (Ontario Chapter), has embarked on planning a number of initiatives to encourage students of Caribbean decent to pursue tertiary education in Ontario.

Started in 2005, we have awarded four (4) scholarships and or bursaries to students of Caribbean background who were accepted into a tertiary institution here in Ontario.   With our sponsors, Jamaica National Money Transfer, Victoria Mutual Money Transfer, Victoria Mutual Building Society and Jamaica National Building Society in 2006, seven (7) scholarships were awarded to students meeting the afore mentioned criterias, and awarded bursaries totaling Eight Thousand dollars to eight students in 2007.

It is our goal each year to identify and award a number of scholarships from our scholarship fund to students meeting our criteria. We are currently accepting applications for the academic year 2010-2011. Note: Application for UTech Scholarships are accepted through the University Alumni Office.
