Education for Life Bursary Description
In honor of our 25th anniversary in 1998, ACCD implemented the Education for Life Bursary. With this annual award, we support and encourage individuals in upgrading their education, preparing them to meet the challenges of a post-secondary education.
Each year we present this bursary to assist post-secondary, first-time learners in overcoming the financial barriers they may encounter when taking on new challenges.
The bursary is awarded to people with disabilities at the entry level or those attempting one course to begin their post-secondary level of education.
ACCD presents $3000 annually in disbursements of $200 -$800 per recipient.
The names of the recipients are included in a variety of ACCD publications such as our Annual Report and our newsletter, Action News.
