Message from our CEO
As an organization, our priority is to help our customers maximize their education savings through RESPs, and ensure the long-term security and benefit of those savings. In order to focus on this mandate during unprecedented times, we have made the difficult decision to suspend certain activities, such as our Graduate Scholarships.
To date, more than $1.6 million in Graduate Scholarships have been awarded. We are very proud of our history of helping students continue their studies at the graduate level, and fully expect to re-instate scholarships in 2021. This year’s situation will certainly be considered when setting the eligibility requirements.
We know many students are facing challenges today and while we were not able offer support through our scholarship program, we encourage you to stay connected to the excellent resources available through ScholarshipsCanada.com.
