I’m a mom of three children and I’m attending the Practical Nursing program. Your support reduces my student debt and makes it possible for me to further my education while I take care of my family. Thank you.
I really appreciate that I received a Women in Trades Training bursary. It helped me pay for work pants, a laptop, and gas to and from the program every day. It was awesome help.

These scholarships and bursaries help countless students achieve their educational goals, which in turn creates phenomenal citizens that will contribute greatly to society for years to come. I’m extremely grateful to the donors that have made my scholarships and bursaries possible.
A wholehearted thank you for supporting my studies in 2021. I am a mature student starting life all over again in British Columbia with my husband and son. I was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer and our life was turned upside down. Since starting the business management course, I have really found a love for numbers. I do not know where this path will take me, but please know that you have been part of my journey.
