Scholarships & Bursaries

Educational awards can be life changing.

Many of us hope that the future will be brighter. Our Foundation and generous donors do more than hope, they invest in the leaders of tomorrow by helping them achieve their educational goals by funding scholarships and bursaries.

The Delta Community Foundation works with the Delta School District to administer a scholarship and bursary program.  For more information about the scholarships available to  North and South Delta graduates through the Delta Community Foundation, students are encouraged to visit their Counsellor or Career & Post-Secondary Advisor in their school’s Career Centre for information and assistance, including how to apply. Students will also find  information on the Delta School District’s website.

Interested in establishing a scholarship or bursary?

Financial support may make all the difference to someone on their life path to achieving bigger and better things. Contact the Delta Community Foundation for more information  about creating an Endowed scholarship.
