About the Foundation

Helping good students achieve great things

Since 1981 the Camosun College Foundation, through the generous support of our donors, has helped thousands of students succeed in pursuing their dreams.

Together with your help we generate funds to support much needed student bursaries, awards and scholarships, classroom and lab equipment, new buildings and projects, library resources, new technologies and student-athlete assistance.

The Foundation also inspires community participation through special events, including the annual Foundation Fundraising Dinner coming in March 2010.

"Your commitment to post secondary education allows persons such as myself to pursue higher education and thus better careers. I am currently pursuing a career in the field of Nursing which is an extremely difficult program. It requires all of my time and commitment and does not allow me to work very much. Bursary programs such as yours allow me to dedicate my time to my program and ease the financial burden associated with full time studies. Thank you for your gift and your commitment to future generations."
– Michelle, Camosun student and bursary recipient
