Student Awards Program

ACF’s Student Award Program is one of the largest of its kind in the Fraser Valley, making it possible for local high school grads to pursue studies in everything from STEM fields to trades, the arts, agriculture, vocational careers & so much more. Since 1990, our donors have given over $7 million in post secondary opportunities to local young people!

The Abbotsford Community Foundation (ACF) Student Awards Program offers scholarships and bursaries to local high school students graduating from participating secondary schools in the City of Abbotsford. Awards start at $500 and can go up to $5,000 per award. On average, ACF offers ~300 different awards in a range of areas, interests, and fields of study annually, thanks to the many donors offering opportunities for post secondary education.

If you’re a grade 12 student at any of the Abbotsford School Board’s High Schools (there are currently 9) or the Mennonite Educational Institute (MEI), you may be eligible to apply.
