University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC)

Nearly 400 graduating high school students from across Scarborough joined us for The Walk With Excellence East last month, a celebration of achievement, community, and future possibilities.

Hosted in partnership with Blackhurst Cultural Centre, the Toronto District School Board, and the Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement, the event brought together students, families, educators, and community members to celebrate graduates and their next steps.

The day also marked the launch of the UTSC Black Flourishing Award, offering two renewable scholarships of $2,000 per year (up to $10,000 per student) to support Black student success at U of T Scarborough. Applications are open until July 17, 2026. Students may learn more and apply here: https://edio.utsc.utoronto.ca/abr-biac/walk-with-excellence
