Building a bridge between dreams and accomplishments
A 1940 grad got a $75 scholarship at the end of his VSA course. That scholarship paid almost 70% of his tuition at University of Alberta.
Awards, scholarships and bursaries help our student achieve their academic goals without extra financial burdens. That may mean more time for studying because they don’t need a part-time job, or needing to make a trip to the food bank.
Generous donors have grown our awards program substantially in the last decade. Over 1,000 students receive an award, bursary or scholarship every academic year. More than $1.5 million is distributed to those students.
As impressive as those totals are, our goal is to increase and broaden support for our students.
That’s why we need you.
We’ll tailor your award to your wishes – the program, the year, other award criteria. You may want to pay it forward from a scholarship in your past, or honour the memory of someone special to you.
Celebrate together
As a donor you join the Lakeland family, so you’ll be invited to a family dinner every March. These are better known as our awards celebrations. There’s one on each campus.
Your award recipient will be more than a name. You’ll be able to chat over dinner. They can tell you about their plans, and how you’ve made a difference in their lives.
