Scholarship & Bursary Trust Donations
Please think about donating to the Scholarship and Bursary Trust, through either a donation or a legacy from your will.
The Trust, which is registered as a Charitable Trust with Revenue Canada, offers scholarships and bursaries to girls, boys, and women from School District 69. There is one scholarship for a graduating girl from each secondary school going on to a university program, as well as scholarships for undergraduate and postgraduate university students. The Trust also offers bursaries to local women who want to return to their education at an accredited Canadian institution, a bursary for students in Early Childhood Education programs, and an award for a woman apprentice in a Red Seal trade.
The Trust has 8 trustees, each elected for a 4-year term from among the membership of CFUW PQ. They are responsible for establishing the number and criteria for the awards, publicizing them, selecting the winners, managing the finances of the Trust and reporting to both CFUW PQ and the Canada Revenue Agency.
In addition to the funds generated by the popular annual book sale, the Trust depends heavily on the generosity of individual donors. We are hoping that your generosity will be extended to assist the young women and men of our community reach their educational goals.

All donations will be recorded and receipted in accordance with the rules and regulations set out by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Donors’ names and the amounts of private donations are not made public without permission.

Justice Bertha Wilson (1923–2007)
First woman to be appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada. Born into a working-class family in Scotland, Bertha Wilson trained in law in Canada. When appointed to the high court in 1982, she already had a track record as a justice with the Ontario Court of Appeal, where she was known for her humane decisions in areas such as human rights and the division of matrimonial property. During her nine years on the Supreme Court, she helped her male colleagues to understand that seemingly neutral laws often operated to the disadvantage of women and minorities - thank you Justice Wilson!

Ga’axstal’as, Jane Constance Cook (1870–1951)
Kwakwaka’wakw leader, cultural mediator, and activist. Born on Vancouver Island, Ga’axstal’as, Jane Constance Cook was the daughter of a Kwakwaka'wakw noblewoman and a white fur trader. Raised by a missionary couple, she had strong literacy skills and developed a good understanding of both cultures and legal systems. As the grip of colonialism tightened around West Coast nations, Cook lobbied for First Nations to retain rights of access to land and resources. She testified at the McKenna-McBride Royal Commission of 1914 and was the only woman on the executive of the Allied Indian Tribes of British Columbia in 1922. A fierce advocate for women and children, she was also a midwife and healer and raised sixteen children.
