Are you a post secondary student and queer advocate? Are you connected to a United Church community of faith, and do you work for the full inclusion of 2SLGBTQIA+ people in your church and the wider community? Then this is an opportunity for you!

Affirm United/S’affirmer Ensemble is excited to be offering up to four student advocates a bursary for the 2024-25 school year. The bursary amount is dependent on the number of applicants selected, but will be a minimum of $1000 each. 

Bursaries from this fund will be for post-secondary students with a demonstrated financial need. Students may be attending any Canadian school, at any level (college, undergraduate, post-graduate, graduate, doctoral). This bursary is for students who are involved with a United Church of Canada community of faith or related organization, and can demonstrate a commitment to 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion in their religious/spiritual community, and wider society.
