Each year in BC, CFUW Clubs present $225,000.00 in scholarships and bursaries.
Since its inception, in 1953, CFUW Abbotsford has supported the education of women. In our early years, scholarships were presented to our local high schools. With the addition of the University of the Fraser nValley (UFV) in the community of Abbotsford, CFUW Abbotsford has donated scholarships to mature female students who are in full time post secondary education. We currently give a $1500 scholarship to a full time mature female student with a 3.0 GPA and a $1500 bursary to a part time mature female student with a GPA of 2.0.
The interest from our Endowment Fund will fund in perpetuity one Scholarship and one Bursary. These awards assist mature women to come back and continue their education.
