Supporting student success

Since 2009, we’ve been granting bursaries and scholarships to graduating Elmwood High students to help them pursue their academic goals. We also periodically fund special projects for current students at the school.

Your gift of any size helps increase the opportunities for Elmwood students to succeed.

Bursaries

Each year we award bursaries to students based on financial need and other criteria. These bursaries help students with the significant tuition costs of post-secondary education at a vocational or academic institution.

The bursary fund is held with The Winnipeg Foundation and was established during Elmwood High’s 50th anniversary celebrations in 2008. We thank our alumni for their foresight and generosity in establishing this fund for students.

Scholarships

Creating a scholarship is a very meaningful way to leave a legacy while helping students to pursue higher education.  

With a minimum contribution of $10,000 you will establish a scholarship with the Elmwood High School Legacy Fund. You can build your $10,000 over five years; your first scholarship is granted the year after the fund reaches this minimum level. 

We can work with you to name and set the criteria for your scholarship.

All scholarships are held with The Winnipeg Foundation.

Students: Contact the EHS Guidance Office for bursary information.
