The CFUW (Canadian Federation of University Women) Brantford is one of 95 clubs across Canada. The club focuses on the rights, freedoms and education of women and girls locally, nationally and internationally.
Our Brantford club has given out scholarships yearly to women in Brant County since 1949. The CFUW Brantford Scholarship Fund has two categories. Our spring awards are for high school female graduates, and the fall awards are for women who have been out of school for at least two years and are presently enrolled in a program to upgrade or change careers.
There are five high school graduates this year who are each receiving $1,200.00. They have demonstrated a vitality for living, enthusiasm for learning and intellectual curiosity about the world. They are committed to their academic pursuits and play an important role in services to their family, school, and community.
