The Quesnel Community Foundation exists to meet the needs of our community through the growth and management of the permanent Endowment Fund that now totals just over $4 million.
Scholarships, Bursaries, and Awards provide a direct investment in our community’s future and demonstrate our ongoing commitment to the youth and students in Quesnel. The Quesnel Community Foundation values education and are proud to support students and help them in achieving their academic and vocational goals.
The Quesnel Community Foundation’s 2022 Scholarship, Bursary, & Award’s Cycle is open!
As these Funds are typically created in Memorial of someone, there are often some different eligibility requirements for each application that are identified by family members or loved ones as exemplifying that person’s passions and values.
