Applications will reopen January 12, 2026.

Hey, high school graduates who are current KidsAbility clients or alumni! We can help your plans for your future in college, university or trade school!

The Carol Shantz Bursary Award is your chance to receive a minimum of $1,000 of financial aid toward your post-secondary journey! It’s for you—KidsAbility clients and alumni—who’ve shown effort, perseverance, and determination to reach your goals and realize your learning potential.

This award has been changing lives since it was established by KidsAbility Foundation over 20 years ago to honour Carol Shantz, retired KidsAbility School Educator and Principal. Could you be the next recipient?

Whether you’re heading into first-year in September or already a returning student, apply today!

Even if you haven’t yet received your post-secondary acceptance letter, we want to hear from you. Don’t miss this opportunity to help make your dreams a reality!
