2025 Scholarship Winner
“I’m really grateful to receive this scholarship. I’m starting the Nursing program at York, and this support helps me cover things like books, scrubs, and all the extra costs that add up. It also takes pressure off my parents, which means a lot to me. Programs like FYI make it possible for students like me to get to university and actually focus on school. Thank you for helping make that happen.”
Congratulations to all of our 2025 Scholarship winners!

Since 2005, FYI's Scholarship Program has given over $210,000+ to 123 youth. The FYI Scholarship program, now in its 19th year, is in commemoration of Jamal Hemmings and Amon Beckles, Toronto youth who were lost to gun violence in November 2005. Jamal and Amon were participants in FYI’s daily programs and will be remembered for their positive, vibrant personalities and dance skills. The FYI Scholarship Program supports our community’s youth towards a brighter future through funding support for various forms of education including: college, university, training, trades, and certificate programs.
Scholarship Writing Workshops
Scholarship writing workshops typically run throughout the spring and summer. These workshops are on a bi-weekly basis, and more details will be available shortly. Stay Tuned!

“I received the FYI scholarship last year and again this year, and I’m really grateful. A lot has changed for me since I first applied — I started in Life Sciences and shifted into Health Sciences after a year of growth and challenges. I was a mentee before, and now I’m hoping to come back as a mentor. This scholarship helps me keep moving forward, and it reminds me how much support matters along the way.”
