Alexandra Park Revitalization Scholarship

Overview

The Alexandra Park Revitalization Scholarship Program recognizes the dedication of Alexandra Park Toronto Community Housing (TCHC) tenants and Atkinson Co-op residents to improving their communities and driving change in their chosen fields.

Located in downtown Toronto, the Alexandra Park community spans 18 acres, bordered by Spadina Avenue, Queen Street West, Dundas Street West, and Bathurst Street.

In partnership with our development partner Tridel with support from the Alexandra Park Community Centre (APCC) we are proud to launch the third year of the Alexandra Park Scholarship Program, supporting people in achieving their educational goals.

For the 2026 to 2027 scholarship season, we are allocating $40,000 to empower deserving residents. This financial support will provide recipients with essential funding for tuition and bursaries at Canadian educational institutions, helping them invest in their future.
