2025 Scholarship Challenge: June 1 – September 1, 2025

Our fundraising goal is $5,000 again this year, with a generous benefactor matching donations past $3,500 total

Next year 2026 will mark the 250th anniversary of the American War of Independence and the first of many chapters of our Loyalist story. Our current and past Scholarship recipients are joining others now conducting new research and writing innovative history that challenges the mythology of the American Revolution.

We acknowledge that the plight of the Loyalists has been misrepresented or ignored in some education systems and in popular film production.

The UELAC Scholarship is a very important aspect of our organization, which helps to ensure that the story of the Loyalists in the American Revolution and the aftermath of settlement in Canada continue to be researched and interpreted by a new generation of Masters and PhD graduate students who apply and qualify for the scholarship.

Please continue to give generously to the UELAC Scholarship fund because your contributions really do ‘fund future knowledge’.

Donate Now in support of Loyalist scholarship. Be sure to indicate if your donation is for:

  • the Loyalist Scholarship Fund (full donation is available now for Scholarship purposes)
  • the Scholarship Endowment Fund (full donation is invested; investment income can be used for Scholarship purposes)
