The Sask K of C Charitable Foundation is pleased to announce a significant enhancement to its bursary program for students attending St. Therese College in Bruno, Saskatchewan. Marvin and Pat DeSchryver are contributing these bursaries from their Endowment Fund.
Beginning with this academic year, the Foundation will increase its support from one $1,000 bursary to three $1,000 bursaries annually for eligible St. Therese College students.
This expansion reflects the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to Catholic post-secondary education and to helping students achieve their educational goals while growing in faith, leadership, and service.
For many years, the Foundation has provided bursaries to students attending Catholic colleges and Saskatchewan Polytechnic campuses across the province. With this change, St. Therese College will now receive the same level of support as other Catholic colleges served by the Foundation.
Eligible applicants must be a member of the Knights of Columbus, or the spouse, child, or grandchild of a member (or deceased member) in good standing. Applications continue to be submitted through the institution’s established bursary process.
By increasing the number of bursaries available, the Foundation hopes to provide greater financial assistance to students pursuing academic excellence while living out Catholic values in Saskatchewan.
We’re pleased to announce that past issues of The Charitable Knight are now available on our website.
