The Storwell Foster Children Bursary Program
Storwell offers an annual $2,000 bursary to help foster children attend post-secondary schools and to offer a hand up as they make their way forward in life.
Please note, this is an external application process that does not directly involve SCSU. SCSU is simply helping to promote the grant to students. All questions regarding this grant should be directed to Storwell.
In response to the growing number of foster children and youth in care that struggle to afford post-secondary studies, Storwell has developed the Storwell Foster Children Bursary Program.
