Fuelled by a belief that post-secondary aspirations and planning start early in a child's life, the Canadian Scholarship Trust Foundation (CSTF) is pleased to support 33 community organizations that are making a difference in the lives of lower-income families all across Canada. Through its CST Inspired Minds® Learning Project, CSTF has granted over $160,000 to organizations that support children and youth to obtain the necessary grades, skills, and self-confidence to succeed in school.
Post-secondary education remains an important stepping stone to success in life. However too often students from lower income families don't have access to the support and experiences that prepare them to succeed in school. To support equitable access to educational experiences, The CST Inspired Minds Learning Project funds local schools and community organizations that are working hard to deliver learning opportunities for these students. These programs help ensure that students are academically prepared and equipped to pursue post-secondary studies.
"We are heartened by the passion and commitment demonstrated in this year's CST Inspired Minds learning Project applications," said Peter Lewis, Vice President of the Canadian Scholarship Trust Foundation. "As we strive to make education accessible, it's crucial that we support and encourage organizations that support a child's educational journey within our communities. It's humbling to see these organizations aligned with our values and committed to today's youth."
Since 2014, The CST Inspired Minds® Learning Project has awarded nearly $1 million to fund learning activities for children and youth in communities across Canada. CST continues to be moved by the commitment these organizations have shown to their children and their communities.
