Loyal True Blue & Orange Home Scholarship

Welcome to the application process for the Loyal True Blue & Orange Home scholarship. We are a charitable organization that has been serving the needs of families since 1921. Originally the Home was incorporated as an orphanage that provided a home for hundreds of children for many years. In the early 1980’s the Ministry of Community and Social Services closed all orphanages and made the change to use foster homes rather that orphanages. The Board of Directors, in keeping with their dedication to children, opened a small child care centre that continues to operate and has grown over the years.

The Loyal True Blue & Orange Home continues to operate a community based children’s facility that addresses the physical, social, and emotional needs of all children with multiple learning levels and abilities. We are committed to an active partnership with students, parents, staff and community programs.

Children are amazing and every child deserves a safe, healthy and fun childhood. Children are our future and they are curious and capable of amazing accomplishments when they have the support of people to teach, mentor, protect and care for them. We want to be part of creating a future where there are amazing resources for all children.
