Bursary Awards Program

The North Eastern Ontario Children’s Foundation is proud to provide a number of awards and bursaries annually to deserving youth (17-25 years old) from the Districts of Cochrane and Timiskaming!

Our Bursary Awards Program provides much-deserved recognition, fosters confidence, and assists youth in pursuing their goals, in most cases through post-secondary education. The awards provide an opportunity for us to show our support and celebrate the accomplishments and achievements of children and youth.

In 2025, we proudly awarded $10,300 to 11 youth across the Districts of Cochrane and Timiskaming. The awards ranged in value across eight different categories, each with unique eligibility criteria.

We are thrilled to recognize the following recipients:

  • AJ D.

  • Josée E.
  • Hailley R.

A special thank you to our community donors whose generous contributions make these awards possible.

Supporting the North Eastern Ontario Children’s Foundation helps to enhance the services that North Eastern Ontario Family and Children’s Services (NEOFACS) provides to children and youth by offering programs that are not government-funded.
