Scholarships & Bursaries
Across BC, CFUW clubs each raise money to support educational scholarships and bursary awards for women and girls in their local communities and beyond.
Nationally, our CFUW Charitable Trust provides funds for a range of post graduate awards and fellowships to women. This Trust is supported by donations from CFUW clubs, individual club members and non-members.
This is an affirmative action program as provided for in the Constitution of Canada and eligibility is restricted to women.
