Senger Family Bursary for Black Students

The BC Black History Awareness Society, together with the Senger family, is offering a bursary in recognition of the very real historical and current barriers for Black students of African ancestry to complete their higher education.

Tina Senger and the BC Black History Awareness Society have established the bursary as a long-term fund to ease economic hardship of attendance at university. Bursaries will be awarded annually. The Senger Family Bursary is intended to award funds to assist meritorious students who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents with demonstrated financial need and who are or will be enrolled full-time in an accredited undergraduate bachelor’s degree program in the Greater Vancouver Area.
