Make a Real Difference
Each year Selkirk College students collectively face over $1 million in unmet need to attend higher education and achieve their dreams. Students can be discouraged from pursuing post-secondary education because of this cost barrier. Your gifts help to bridge the unmet financial gap and provide motivation to unleash student’s potential.
