With help from our supportive partner, Kindred Foundation, and other generous donors, this year we are pleased to announce the addition of six new Roster Scholarship awards! Of those scholarships, two (2) will be given to Black students who identify as members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and four (4) will be awarded specifically to students studying in the area(s) of mental health, health sciences, or sciences.
There will also be five (5) one-time bursaries awarded to selected applicants.
Good luck!!
2021 BEF Inaugural Scholarship Awards Event
Welcome BEF supporters!
If you were unable to attend our live virtual scholarship awards ceremony, where we recognized the outstanding academic achievements and community engagement by 8 amazing Black Canadian students, please take some time to enjoy this video. It is filled with exciting guest speakers, the talented DJ Elegance, and a tribute to social justice champion, Kola Iluyomade.
Please Note
During our inaugural virtual awards ceremony, Mayor Patrick Brown used an unintended yet offensive word when referring to the city of Brampton. The Black Education Fund does not condone this language and we unequivocally condemn the use of any language which disparages the marginalized diverse Black and Brown communities. We provided the mayor an opportunity to apologize for this mistake, however no meaningful apology has been offered at the time of us sharing this video.
