FHS Scholarship Program
Finland House Society
STUDENT AWARDS PROGRAM
Finland House Society established a scholarship program in 2012 that has evolved into a generous comprehensive Student Awards Program for students of Finnish descent pursuing a post-secondary education in Canada.
The program includes scholarships for scholastic achievement by students up to the graduate level. The bursary was established to meet the financial needs of all students, including post-graduates, whether they are pursuing academic studies or vocational training. The 2026 scholarship recipients will be posted shortly. Applications for 2027 open in September 2027 and will be awarded in October 2027.
Program funds grew from fundraisers and donations from members of the Finnish-Canadian community as well as the Melva Leppä Memorial Bursary. To sustain the program, donations are gratefully accepted at any time. Please make cheques payable to Finland House Society Scholarship Fund or donate online at CanadaHelps, a registered charity. Tax receipts are issued for donations of $25 or more. For further information email us at awards.fhs@gmail.com
Celebrating Our 2025 Scholarship Recipients Congratulations to our 2025 student recipients, who each received $2,500 to support their studies. Each recipient values their connection to Finland and its heritage, whether through personal experience or family ties passed down through generations. The Finnish Host Society Scholarship Award is made possible by past donations from members of our Finnish Canadian community and friends. The generous Melva Leppä Memorial Bursary also helps sustain FHS’s student funding program for years to come. Our 2026 award recipients will be featured on this website soon. We welcome a volunteer to help prepare and post this update. If you’re interested, please contact finlandhousesociety@gmail.com.
