Scholarships and Bursaries

Founder’s Bursary Program
Funded by The John Dobson Foundation and named after the founder of ACE, Ian Aitken, the Founder’s Bursary Program awards a total of $15,000 to outstanding students for their contributions to their SIFE Program.

The program is split into two bursary opportunities. One bursary is to recognize three students who showcase valuable leadership skills over the past school year. The other is to recognize six students who actively participate in ACE between May and August and create and implement a SIFE project during that time period.

Three bursary recipients will each receive $2,500 towards their university or college tuition for the upcoming school year.
