Scholarships, Bursaries & Awards
The SSCF works with generous individuals, families, companies and organizations to establish scholarship, bursary and award funds to benefit deserving individuals. Once the donor and the organization of their choice have finalized the award criteria, that organization or institution works together with SSCF to meet the intent of the donor:
- The organization or institution administers the application and selection process, and may be involved in presenting the award to the recipient
- SSCF ensures that the funding of the scholarship, bursary or award meets the donor’s, the organization’s and SSCF’s requirements (including any required reporting to the donor, the payment of the award, and the amount and timing of payments)

Don and Claire Kramer Foundation Scholarship

Donavon Puttick Memorial Scholarship
- Eligible applicants: Students attending Central Collegiate or Peacock Collegiate in Moose Jaw
The Donavon Puttick Memorial Scholarship was established in honour of Donavon Puttick, who lost his battle with mental illness at the age of 16.
Despite his own struggles, Donavon was known among his friends and family as someone who could be relied on to help talk others out from their own darkness or self-doubt. He was kind, fair, and perceptive to others emotions well beyond his 16 years.
In establishing this scholarship, Donavon’s mom hopes to help reduce stigma around mental illness by encouraging mental health awareness among our youth and supporting students who are active in this area.
Students will be selected by school staff based on demonstrated support of mental health awareness and/or initiatives. Involvement may be formal or informal. There is no requirement to be registered in post-secondary education.
