SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Reach Your Destination... with the Toromont CAT Scholarship!

This program targets students who live in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and are entering the Motive Power Techniques/Heavy Equipment Program at Sir Sandford Fleming College and Centennial College. The Scholarship recognizes students for their enthusiasm in their related skills/studies, for their extracurricular activities and for academic performance.
