The OFL is committed to social justice and equity and believes strongly that post-secondary education provides important opportunities that should not be limited by tuition fees or student debt. We hope this scholarship helps make education more affordable while we fight to make access universal. We proudly encourage women, people of colour, Indigenous peoples, LGBTQI* people, people with disabilities, and those from other equity-seeking backgrounds to apply for this scholarship.
The OFL represents more than one million unionized workers in Ontario from 50 affiliated unions and is proud to have the support of American Income Life (AIL) Canada, a 100% union company that is a leader in providing supplemental insurance benefits.

In solidarity,
