As leaders in Canada’s college and institute sector, we know that access to post-secondary education can change lives and strengthen communities.
The Paul and Gerri Charette Bursary Program provides vital financial support to college and institute students who demonstrate financial need and face barriers to completing their education. Students attending institutions in rural, remote, or northern areas are given preference, reflecting CICan’s commitment to advancing equity and access across Canada.
By serving on the National Selection Committee, you will play a vital role in selecting recipients whose education could be life changing and have a lasting impact on their communities.
This is an opportunity to champion the value of our member institutions, support students who face the greatest barriers, and contribute to a program that demonstrates the transformative impact of colleges and institutes nationwide.
Join us in helping students build a better future for themselves, their communities, and Canada.
Please complete the following contact information if you would wish to be considered by Friday, October 3, 2025. The Committee will be formalized by Friday, October 10, 2025.
