Ontario Hyundai would like congratulate this year’s winners of the Ontario Hyundai Scholarships. These extraordinary young men and women have exhibited strong leadership, volunteerism, athletic and artistic ability, and also academic achievement.
There are ten Ontario Hyundai Scholarships awarded per year to graduating Grade 12 from Durham Region. The scholarships awarded are $1000.00 per student per year and are renewable each year for up to four years. There will be a maximum of forty students in the program at any given time. For more information, or to donate to The Ontario Hyundai Scholarship Foundation, please visit our web site at www.ontariohyundaischolarships.ca
“The Ontario Hyundai Scholarships’ main mission is to help financially assist Durham Region students. Over our 30 years in Durham Region, Ontario Hyundai has supported many causes and charities. The establishment of The Ontario Hyundai Scholarships is a natural progression for us and one we felt was important and timely. Post-Secondary education is rapidly becoming more expensive. Students and their families are struggling to come up with the resources to achieve the dream of continuing their education and the journey towards success. Our belief is that the world is becoming more and more competitive and we have to promote the value of education to our youth. Education is their passport to the future and without it they may be left behind. We are proud and honoured to off er our support to these exemplary young men and women”.

– Greg Mason, President, Ontario Hyundai
