The scholarships mark the first year of Fleming’s new Entrance Scholarships program, which awarded $100,000 to 50 incoming students.

Each student received $2,000, with scholarships awarded across five categories: mature learners, skilled trades students, applied health students, students entering the new Diagnostic Cardiac Sonography program and Fleming alumni returning to college.

The remaining $20,000 is being provided to four students entering environmental science programs at Fleming’s Frost Campus through scholarships established by The Pick Family Foundation in honour of the late business leader and philanthropist Tom Pick. Each student will receive $5,000.

The scholarships are being awarded to students entering programs across Fleming’s Schools of Health and Community Services, Trades and Technology, and Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences.

Recipients were selected based on academic achievement and the eligibility requirements established for each award.

Fleming announced its first-ever entrance scholarship program in April, with the goal of providing additional financial support to incoming students. The 50 Fleming scholarships were made possible through the Fleming Forward Fund.

For Fleming student Zahid Hasan, who is entering the new Diagnostic Cardiac Sonography program, the support is already making a difference.

“Receiving this scholarship means a lot to me and will provide valuable support as I begin my studies,” said Hasan. “I appreciate Fleming College’s commitment to supporting students and investing in those pursuing important and in-demand fields. I am excited to join the Fleming community and look forward to starting this academic journey.”
