Access to Scholarships and Bursaries

Essential Elements

Jenn PerronDeciding to invest in your education is a long-term commitment and sacrifice for many students. I don’t know how to express just how grateful students like myself are for donations to Algoma University.

Gifts to the Algoma University Foundation help students to focus on their studies and continue their education during stressful financial times.

Goal: $2.5 Million

Rewarding scholastic achievement and supporting students in need of financial aid.

Scholarships that honour students’ proven capabilities and potential bring motivated, committed young people to study in Sault Ste. Marie. A well-funded scholarship and bursary program makes Algoma University inviting to talented students whose presence in the classroom and the research lab enriches the learning environment for all.

Increasing bursary awards makes a quality education available to students who might otherwise find the financial burden of a university education an overwhelming obstacle.

Donations to the Algoma University Foundation endowment program help provide student awards through investments that are held in perpetuity. Capital invested in the Foundation through donations ensures that student awards will be available as long as the university is in existence. This legacy will carry forward each donor’s commitment to supporting education far into the future.

A strong commitment to student support through investments in the University’s endowment is a fundamental priority for the Algoma University Foundation and a key component of Essential Elements: The Campaign for Algoma U.

In support of this core mission priority, Essential Elements: The Campaign for Algoma U will raise funds to:

Gifts received for this campaign initiative that create endowed bursary funds may be eligible to be matched on a 1:1 basis by the Ontario Trust for Student Support (OTSS), a program supported by the Ontario government, further leveraging the impact of the gift.
