In honour of notable members of the Canadian Scholarship Trust family, the CST Foundation provides bursaries to students of all ages who are entering post-secondary education for the first time and whose financial needs may make it difficult for them to access post-secondary education.
The bursaries are intended for students who demonstrate financial need, and whose financial need may make it difficult for them to access post-secondary education. The funds can be used to cover the cost of tuition as well as school-related expenses such as books and supplies or living expenses. When making the selection, preference will be given to students who are the first in their family to pursue post-secondary education.
25 bursaries are available.
