BURSARIES
The Ottawa-Gatineau Youth Foundation has more than $2 million currently endowed at post-secondary institutions in Ottawa. Since inception, more than 760 bursaries valued at nearly $1.3 million have been awarded to youth.
We are currently expanding our reach into the Gatineau region by establishing endowment funds at three Gatineau based post-secondary institutions. You can help us reach our goal to establish bursaries for students in the Gatineau region!
