The Redcliff Scholarships have been awarded to 50 Redcliff students since being established in 2002. The awards are possible thanks to two endowed scholarship funds that were established and are sustained by ongoing contributions of Redcliff organizations and present and past Redcliff citizens. A third, Frank King Tribute Scholarship Fund, was announced in the spring of 2018 in memory of the late Frank King, while a fourth was added in November of 2020 to honour the legacy of former Redcliff resident David Jon Thomson.
