Scholarship fund

A scholarship fund is a public fund that is established and maintained solely for providing money for eligible scholarships, bursaries or prizes. The scholarships, bursaries or prizes must meet certain requirements.

The public fund must be either:

  • a registered charity
  • operated by a registered charity.

For more information about scholarship funds, refer to our fact sheet Scholarship funds.

If your fund does not qualify as a scholarship fund, check the DGR table to see if another category applies.
