The world in which we live has changed so dramatically, that modern man is expected to change careers several times in his/her lifetime prior to retirement. Consequently many people in our community may feel motivated to either upgrade their current skills or acquire new skill sets dependent on the current market needs.

The Extended Hands scholarship program will provide the incentive for higher educational aspiration in our community which is beneficial to the enhancement of the 21st century employment prospects. Here is your opportunity to leave a lasting impact in our society.

For substantial contributions of over 10,000 $CAD, Extended Hands offers to create a scholarship fund under the name of your choice ensuring that your contribution is properly recognized.

The objective and main goal of the Extended Hands Scholarship Program is to enable students who have demonstrated exceptional educational results and tangible community influence. These individuals, however, have limited financial means to pursue their studies in qualified educational institutions. The funds thereby allow these remarkable students to gain proficiency in specific fields of study that are important to the progression of their academic and career development.
