Maybe you completed your own education with the help of funding, or maybe you feel passionate about creating opportunities for others. Whatever your story is, we can connect you with options for giving back.</p> <p>You can help the next generation of students realize their goals. Whether it’s supporting students in need with bursaries, or pushing students to achieve more than they imagined with scholarships, your contribution is valuable.</p> <h2><a href="http://giving.ufv.ca/ways-to-give/student-awards/">Student Awards</a></h2> <p><b><b>Bursaries </b></b>can make a significant difference for a student in need. Help a student who might otherwise abandon their program because they lack the funding.</p> <p><b><b>Scholarships </b></b>attract and reward the brightest and most driven students, helping them to reach their full potential.</p> <p><b><b>Leadership Awards</b> </b>provide opportunities to reward the students who are actively giving back to their community.</p> <p><b><b>Entrance Awards</b></b> help UFV attract students coming straight out of high school or fund a mature student starting their education after spending time in the workforce.</p> <h2><a href="http://giving.ufv.ca/be-a-lifesaver/">Be a Lifesaver Campaign</a></h2> <p>Emergency funding helps students who need unanticipated financial support.
