Leadership giving options

Bursaries are awarded based on financial need. 

Scholarships are awarded based on academic excellence to help SFU attract the best and brightest students and student-athletes.

Awards recognize outstanding academic, athletic or community achievements.

Endowments are one way that you can ensure your annual scholarship, bursary or award is truly a lasting legacy at SFU.  With a minimum gift of $20,000 (for undergraduate awards) or $30,000 (for graduate awards), the capital is held in perpetuity and invested.  A portion of the interest earned is given out, while the remaining interest is re-capitalized into the endowment.  As the endowment grows, so do the student awards.
