Ways to Support

Today’s students face higher costs for their post-secondary education than previous generations and many struggle to balance school with part-time work and other commitments. Donor-funded awards and bursaries make education more affordable, provide recognition and encouragement, and help many students have more time for school and community involvement opportunities that support their future career goals.

ESTABLISH A NEW AWARD OR BURSARY

Establishing an award or bursary is a meaningful way to honour a loved one, commemorate a special occasion, or create a legacy. Awards and bursaries can be named for an individual, family or organization. Awards are based on criteria that may include academic achievement, commitment in non-academic fields such as community service, student leadership and/or volunteerism, and financial need. Bursaries are based on financial need.

Awards and bursaries can be established through:

• Annual funding (minimum commitment of $1,000 per year for five-years, paid annually or in a lump sum)
• Endowed funding (minimum commitment of $25,000 paid in a lump sum)
