Our Holiday Campaign is a special chance to help students in the GTA and have double the impact.
Our goal is to raise $100,000 to support Merit Awards and the Alumni Support Programs we run. Thanks to generous supporters, Biff and Sue Matthews, Metrix and a donor who wishes to remain anonymous we have up to $50,000 to match all donations to the the Holiday Campaign!
Please make a gift today to make sure we can get all $50,000 of the matching funds available to reach our goal of $100,000 for our Holiday Campaign to help more students like Mahek!
Donations of any amount, made before December 31 (extended until January 10th, 2025), will be matched. All gifts are eligible for a tax receipt AND you will have 2X the impact for students in the GTA!
“The Merit Award was the first scholarship I received for university, and it went a long way, helping me to focus more on school and worry less about finances.
And while of course the financial aspect of it was really important, it also gave me some reassurance and a sense of fulfillment, and it showed me that I could accomplish things and that there were people who believed in me and believed that I was capable of pursuing undergraduate and perhaps graduate studies at the same time.”
-Biff Matthews
“We recognize there are many deserving causes that need support. For us, supporting post-secondary education for youth from disadvantaged families is important. It assists the entire community.
The Merit Award Bursary Program is a good vehicle for this, which is why we have supported them for the past few years. This year, we wanted to encourage others to do the same by matching donations to the Holiday Campaign.
​
Merit is not government funded; they have low administrative costs; and make a huge difference for students in the GTA. It deserves your support.”
