This year’s UCC Fund comprises six funding priorities — Learning and Academic Innovation, Financial Assistance, Extraordinary Spaces, the Prep General Fund, the Upper General Fund and the College Priority Fund. 

When deciding to contribute to Upper Canada College, we want you to have a choice over how your generous donation benefits the College and most importantly, our students.   

To learn more about how a donation to one of these priorities will impact your child, or to make a contribution to the UCC Fund, please visit uccfund.ucc.on.ca. 

Dear UCC Community,

The nomination period for two of the College’s highest honours closes tonight at midnight. I hope you’ll consider nominating one or more of our extraordinary community members for these awards. 

Information regarding the nomination process and deadlines for the John D. Stevenson Award and Old Boy of Distinction Award are available on our website.

Thank you in advance for nominating fellow UCC community members and helping the College recognize the profound impact of our alumni and volunteers! 

Sincerely,

Chanakya Sethi ’03
President, UCC Association

Financial assistance applications for the 2026–27 academic year will once again be processed by Financial Aid for Canadian Students (FACS). This third-party service provides an independent assessment of the application and makes confidential recommendations directly to the College’s financial assistance review committee. Awards are made to eligible families on the basis of assessed need and may vary from year to year. You can complete the application online. The application fee is $137.50.

Current families must apply or reapply by the Nov. 14 deadline so the College can ensure that all returning student applications are assessed and decisions made prior to a re-registration decision is required early in 2026.

The College’s finance office has included current data in an at-a-glance table to help day families determine whether or not they may qualify for financial assistance. This table, along with the “Frequently Asked Questions” section around the application process, are available on the Financial Assistance page of the UCC website. There’s some very helpful guidance material on the FACS site as well.

Sincerely,
Colleen Papulkas
Manager, Finance Office
