CFUW Edmonton and Strathcona County clubs

Scholarship for an Undergraduate Aboriginal Woman 

Value $2000

In 2019, the CFUW Alberta Council gave $2000 to each of the three universities in Alberta to award to an Aboriginal woman student. CFUW Edmonton and CFUW Strathcona County decided to award the scholarship for the University of Alberta through the CFUW Edmonton AAF scholarship program. Subsequently, an Alberta member decided to fund 5 more years of this scholarship at $2000 per year. Since 2020, the two clubs have cooperated each year to award the scholarship to an undergraduate Aboriginal women at the University of Alberta. The funding from the anonymous donor will end after the 2024 academic year. Members from each of the Edmonton and Strathcona County clubs read the applications.
