We received multiple cards and letters from students that were awarded one of our scholarships.

Jeanne Suave Undergraduate Scholarship

Friends of the University Graduate Award

Ailsa Heathcote Walker Memorial Prize

And the Faculty of Education for the Scholarship in Elementary Education

The impact of these scholarships can be profound, we are honoured to support them.

As Sean mentions, receiving this support helps the students focus on
their academic and personal development, so they can achieve their educational goals and reach their greatest potential. If you would like to contribute to the funding of any of our scholarships please contact us.

The Friends are happy to write this cheque to support both the Friends of the University Graduate Award and four Undergraduate Scholarships.

A small outdoor gathering to get the signatures and enjoy the break from the deep freeze. In case you cannot tell, we are smiling beneath our masks.
