Scholarships and Bursaries
History of our Scholarships and Bursaries
Since its earliest years, CFUW PQ has been active in a variety of fundraising activities for scholarships. In 1984, the Ways and Means Committee organized the publication and sale of the first club cookbook; a second cookbook was published the following year, both raising seed-monies for our scholarship fund.
Our first annual club book sale took place in February 1985, also to benefit scholarships. The Scholarship and Bursary Trust (SBT) was formally established in 1987, and initially organized the books sales. Subsequently the club became responsible for book sales, the proceeds going to club operations and from these the SBT receives a grant. The first of the bridge luncheons was held in 1992, the goal of which was to establish and maintain a specific bursary for a mature woman entering or returning to post-secondary education. A special fundraiser was our Memoir Writing event in 2018, dedicated to raise funds for a one-time club Centennial Scholarship, honouring CFUW’s 100 years.
In addition, donated funds are received from members of the public, as well as a number of bequests. Details on how to do this can be found here.
Scholarships and Bursaries
The funds for these awards are raised in a variety of ways, including an annual used book sale and donations from CFUW PQ members and the public. These events benefit the community as well as deserving students.
The Trust administers the JC Reid Memorial Scholarship on behalf of the Reid family, and as of 2018, North Island College administers an award on our behalf for a local woman continuing her studies in a trade or certificate programme.
