Educational Bursary

The PIRS Educational Bursary was established with the purpose of providing assistance to immigrant and refugee women aspiring to pursue education or training for skills enhancement and increased employability. Many of the women we serve face financial barriers that hinder their access to educational opportunities.

We are grateful to Patsy and Crissy George and the Amy Dalgleish Memorial Fund for their inaugural gifts.

To contribute to the PIRS Educational Bursary, kindly choose “Educational Bursary” from the drop-down menu on the right-hand side of this page.

We encourage those who are interested in providing exceptional support and receiving a name recognition to contact us at ed@pirs.bc.ca. We would be honored to discuss how your contribution can make a lasting impact on the educational journeys of these deserving women. Your generosity can be a beacon of hope and empowerment for those striving to overcome barriers and achieve their educational goals.
