Bursary Program - For Those Who Have Experienced Loss
Financial and Youth Services
Provided by The Charlene Reaveley Children’s Charity
A bursary for grade 12 students who have experienced the loss of a family member.
The Charlene Reaveley Children’s Charity recognizes graduating students who harbor the hope and potential for a brighter tomorrow in the face of adversity through the loss of a parent and/or sibling.
All bursaries require that candidates are in good academic standing, contribute to their communities, and will be furthering their education at a post-secondary institution upon graduation. Graduating students have endured loss and it shapes who they are. Despite their adversity and loss they are taking a step forward and focusing on the positive. Since 2015, CRCCS has awarded almost $100,000 to students as they have demonstrated their determination to shape their future, wrote essays on how their loss has impacted their life and choices they have made, and their perseverance for their future.
