About Scholarship
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, our scholarship program stands proudly as Canada's one-of-a-kind bursary initiative dedicated to empowering individuals living with psychosis through educational opportunities. Since its inception in 2003, we have proudly supported over 100 students and awarded a remarkable $250,000 in funding.
Our unique scholarship program goes beyond conventional higher education support, recognizing that educational aspirations come in various forms. We proudly fund practical education opportunities such as GEDs, vocational schooling, professional designations, and skill-enhancing courses that pave the way for successful re-entry into the workforce.
Join us as we continue to break barriers and transform lives by providing essential educational support to those living with psychosis.
