Your donations support two key priorities at Université de Saint-Boniface:
- Major projects and initiatives: from infrastructure and research to student mobility and cultural projects, these investments improve the student experience year after year.
- Scholarships and bursaries: these awards open the door to higher education, which is at the heart of our mission.
In 2016, 552 scholarships and bursaries were awarded to students. A decade later, that number is more than 850—an increase of over 50%. The total amount awarded has more than doubled, from $498,619 to $1,144,000.
