A community of giving

The SFU community thrives through the incredible contributions of like-minded supporters. With your commitment through the Alumni Scholarship and Bursary Endowment Fund, our future alumni can reach their potential and use their talents to build a better world.

“No one understands the highs and lows of student life more than alumni—you’ve been there!” says Nicole Dorssers, Director, Alumni Relations and Executive Director, SFU Alumni Association. “Your generosity means students can focus on what matters: staying physically and mentally healthy, focusing on their futures and, most importantly, being students.”

Bursaries open doors for students who could not otherwise afford a university education while scholarships recognize outstanding students and their efforts.

“During these extraordinary times, the support of our community has been more critical than ever,” Dorssers says. “Your gifts change lives, and we are deeply grateful for the opportunities you create.”
