Supporting Education

1 minute read

Executive Summary

With a strong belief in the value of education and a desire to provide opportunities to those students in need, this family created two scholarship opportunities for deserving students who have financial need. One for Canadian students and another for students who were not born in Canada.

Changing Lives by Creating Opportunity

Recognizing financial need at critical stages of their lives and development, this family worked with the schools in the inner-city to make scholarship opportunities available to deserving students when they need it the most.

Through their schools, students graduating Grade 12 can apply to be considered for either a one-time bursary or a multi-year scholarship. By establishing selection criteria that would enhance their education as well as their life in general, the donor family encourages students to work with their teachers to submit an application for the scholarship. Commitment to education, engagement in the school community, engagement in the community at large and financial need are factors considered in the selection process, not only highest grades achieved.

GiftPact Foundation has administered this family’s scholarship program since 2013. We have had the privilege of seeing lives change because of it.
