About Us

Who Are We?

The North Vancouver High School Education Foundation is a non-profit organization that works to help students further their post-secondary education through the awarding of scholarships and bursaries.

The Foundation was formed in 1979 when North Vancouver Secondary School was closed. The people in charge of the monies bequeathed to the school and its students for scholarships and bursaries joined with the Kiwanis Dollars for Scholars group and formed the new Foundation, with the funds from both groups amalgamated to form the Foundation's capital.

Over the years our capital has grown through reunion donations, donations from past students and teachers, bequests and special memorial scholarship and bursary funds raised by and through the community to honour members of the North Vancouver education system. Scholarships and bursaries are awarded to deserving students graduating from high schools in North Vancouver, using the interest earned each year on the capital.
