A post-secondary education can change the trajectory of a young person’s life. For youth involved with child welfare, financial barriers often stand between graduation and opportunity. Through Educational Bursaries, donors help remove those barriers while creating a lasting legacy that supports future generations of young people.

The CFSGE Foundation’s Educational Bursary program provides meaningful pathways for donors, families, and organizations to invest in education as a long-term solution to building independence, confidence, and stability. Each bursary represents more than financial support. It reflects a community standing behind a young person as they step into adulthood and pursue their goals.

In 2025, nine students in Extended Society Care were supported as they entered post-secondary education, taking important steps toward self-determination and lifelong learning.
