Community Centre Alliance
The Community Centre Alliance (CCA) is committed to assisting community members in their pursuit of obtaining post-secondary education. Since the partnership began in 2006, Fry Family Foundation has awarded over 300 annual scholarships to CCA youth living in their five partnering St. John's neighbourhoods (Froude Avenue, Buckmaster’s Circle, MacMorran, Rabbittown and Virginia Park). The program was enhanced in 2020 when post-secondary CCA scholarships became renewable for up to three additional years, as long as the student remains in scholarship standing.
FFF supports the education and development of students, in particular those who have demonstrated leadership ability. Selection is based on academics, volunteerism, and participation in school and Community Centre activities. Eligible candidates must plan to enroll in first year studies at Memorial University, Marine Institute or College of the North Atlantic. Applications are accepted by the executive directors of the respective St. John’s Community Centres and the recipient chosen by a Selection Committee. Learn more about these scholarships and CCA's Education Initiatives by visiting their website.
