LEA ROBACK FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS

The objective of the Lea Roback Foundation is to promote education as a means of fulfilment and emancipation for all, and to offer financial assistance to women who wish to pursue their education. In November 1994, the Lea Roback Foundation awarded its first scholarship.

Every year since then, the Foundation has issued scholarships (to a maximum value of $3,000). In fact, 134 scholarships have been given to women who are socially committed but economically disadvantaged. Living in every region of Québec, the scholarship recipients reflect Québec society’s ethnocultural diversity.

Their commitment is demonstrated in a wide variety of organizations and sectors:

Women’s centres, co-operatives, women’s shelters, unions, housing committees, soup kitchens, student associations, community radio, women’s health, non-traditional jobs, education, anti-violence activities, the environment, the social economy, mutual assistance in mental health, defence of social rights, regional development, etc.

They pursue studies at many educational levels and in a diversity of areas:

Literacy training, trades, high school and CEGEP studies (technical and general), university programs, in social work, health sciences, administration, education, language and literature as well as communications.

Candidates may apply a maximum of three times, whether or not they have previously received a scholarship from the Foundation.
