Give the Gift of Learning

"The boost of confidence I got from having total strangers care about me and my education was amazing."
 

This is how one Selkirk college graduate felt when she received her bursary. You can help another young woman by donating to one of two funds established and supported by women in the Kootenays.

We have three options for you to donate locally to one of our bursary or scholarship programs. Click below to learn more about supporting a young woman's education today.
