Thanks to the generous financial support of our donors, Cumberland College is pleased to offer our students the opportunity to apply for General Awards. These awards are based on a wide variety of criteria allowing us to consider factors beyond just academic standing. We strongly encourage ALL our Technical and University students to apply! In addition to marks, some examples of criteria include community service, financial need and classoom leadership. We have awards for full time, part time and mature students as well so don't delay - the application window is open from December 1 to January 20 of each academic year. Recipients are selected by a committee and successful applicants will be notified mid-February.

Due to the pandemic, Cumberland College strives to take every precaution to ensure the safety of students, donors, staff and guests so the annual Scholarship and Awards Ceremony will once again be held virtually. We have chosen the tentative date of Thursday, March 17th @ 2:00 pm. The link will be released in early March. Please save the date and join us as we celebrate the success of Cumberland College students and the generosity of our community partners.
