CFCN Scholarship
Canadian Families and Corrections Network (CFCN) focuses on families, children, and friends who have someone they care about in jail. Our mission is to build stronger and safer communities by assisting families affected by criminal behaviour, incarceration, and reintegration. The CFCN Scholarship is open to all Canadian students graduating high school, or completing high school equivalency, and attending post-secondary education.
