Education Awards
Recognizing that post-secondary education is a powerful tool for raising the status of women, CFUW Perth and District allots a significant portion of the funds raised in our community to Education Awards. These awards offer financial assistance to deserving individuals who identify as female and non-binary who are pursuing post-secondary education in a publicly funded institution. Awards are available to individuals of any age who are starting or continuing their post-secondary education. Priority is given to those who demonstrate financial need.
In 2024, nine awards were given out.

Olivia, Speech-Language Pathology, Western University
We have officially started semester two and I am completing my first placement this semester. I am nervous for it but I am also very excited as it will be such an amazing learning experience and will provide me the opportunity to apply what I have been learning from class. Thank you again for the bursary, it has greatly helped.
Jade, Philosophy, University of Toronto
I have learned so much already and it is only the first half of my first year! I must thank you all again for being able to assist me in pursuing my academic goals and giving me a wonderful collection of women to inspire me to continue on in my journey.
Leah, Criminology, Trent University
My classes have been challenging, but I have learned so much new information. Peterborough is a beautiful place, and living on campus has been lots of fun. I'm currently on break for the winter, but I'm so excited to start my new classes! I am so grateful to all of you for helping me get here, thank you again!
