The student society will match donations up to $15,000 until the end of November.
“Education is the greatest equalizer, but the cost can be a barrier for some students,” Geoff Wilmshurst, Camosun’s vice-president of partnerships, said in a release. “A bursary can be a real game changer by providing much-needed financial relief. Now is a great time to give to a student in need as your donation will be doubled and will be part of the 50th anniversary legacy of the college.”
