Impact Scholarships

Shawnigan offers Impact Scholarships for new and returning students that have faced conflict, discrimination, or circumstances that impede their access to the growth and development that education offers. These youth, through their life experience and commitment to education, will not only benefit enormously from the well-rounded education that Shawnigan offers, but they will have even greater positive impact on Shawnigan students, teachers, and the wider community. Impact Scholarships provide full access to and financial support for the Shawnigan Journey, including tuition, housing, books, uniform, and other expenses.
 
Shawnigan's Impact Scholarships were established by Head of School Larry Lamont and his wife Kathini Cameron in support of Project Future, Shawnigan’s 2021-2023 strategic vision, with a view to reaching our Shawnigan’s full potential for positive impact in the world. In a letter to parents supporting the fund, Mr. Lamont shared: “You will know that supporting students dispossessed of safety and education is close to Kathini and my hearts. I am hopeful that, by working together, we can make the gift that you have given to your children available to others who are facing circumstances beyond their control.”
