Bursaries

Bursaries have been given since 1968 by the White Rock/Surrey Club to Surrey and White Rock women entering their third year or higher of an accredited university degree program.

In November, 1986, the Bursary Foundation was established, thus enabling the club to issue receipts for income tax purposes. 

The number and amount of bursaries varies.    In 2007, four bursaries of $2500 were awarded.  Three bursaries of $3000 were awarded in 2008.

The deadline for applications for financial assistance is September 1 each year.                                

2009 JUBILEE BURSARIES

This year marks the 50th anniversary of CFUW White Rock/ Surrey. To mark this special event, the club’s Jubilee Committee launched a year-long "toonie drive" among club members.

This campaign netted over $6000. With the addition of funds from the Surrey White Rock Bursary Foundation, we were able to offer three $3000 Jubilee bursaries, one of which was awarded in memory of long-time club member Rosamond Sarles.

On October 24th, the Club held a bursary lunch at the White Rock Lawn Bowling Club.  All three bursary recipients attended, and were presented with their awards and Bursary Certificates.
