Since 1962, The May Court Club of Oakville has proudly supported Oakville youth with their post-secondary education dreams by awarding over $1.4 million to hundreds of deserving Oakville students.
Our program is somewhat unique in that it is not marks based. Rather our criteria is focused on resiliency, financial need and documented school and community involvement.
Criteria for Eligibility
The May Court Club Scholarship Program considers providing funds to students who meet the following criteria:
– Attend a publicly funded high school or adult learning/continuing education centre in Oakville
– Documented demonstrated financial need
– Demonstrate a strong commitment to their school and/or community at large through volunteering – successful applicants typically substantially surpass the mandatory provincial requirement of 40 hours of volunteer service
– Accepted into an eligible post-secondary program of their choice in Canada including degree, diploma, certificate and apprenticeship programs
Interviews
We interview selected new candidates. Interviews take place in person or virtually.
Renewable Scholarships

MAY COURT SCHOLARSHIP DONOR PROGRAM
The pandemic has made fundraising more challenging. While we have become more creative in our efforts to fundraise in non-traditional methods, the challenges remain. The most difficult part of this program is not being able to help everyone. To help address some of our fundraising challenges, we are expanding our Scholarship Donor Program. Over the years, our past recipients have come back to us to share their incredible journeys of success and offer to pay it forward in any way they can. Their stories inspire us to keep doing the work. We believe they will inspire you too. If you are interested in becoming a donor or wish to learn more about our program, please email us at scholarships@maycourt.ca
We want to thank the following donors for their continued support:
The Touchpoint Foundation (through The Goddard Private Client Group} – Supporter Since 2008
Walton Family Foundation – Supporter Since 2012

Student Testimonials
“For the first time in the past four years, this January – I feel secure. I have a great job at Navigator Ltd. I feel like I have truly begun a new chapter in my life. I cannot thank May Court enough for its contribution to this journey. In future years, when I am more established in my career, I hope to donate to the May Court Club to keep scholarships going for future generations of leaders. In the interim, I want to offer myself as a mentor to any current students.”

“I want to thank you for supporting my education journey over the past few years; thanks to you, I am now graduating from Management Engineering at uWaterloo this spring! I am now financially secure, and I would love that you kindly give this scholarship to someone else who needs it more than me. Thank you once again for really supporting me! I have interacted with your team on many occasions in the past and everyone has been so wonderful and really cares about their recipients from their heart. I am very grateful for your team!”
