About a month ago, I applied for a grant from the University of Victoria Alumni Association. They provide grants to:
- enhance the quality of education at UVic; improve campus life;
- help students and recent graduates (last five years);
- otherwise support the university
Being a recent graduate of UVic, I qualified for one such grant. Recently I was informed that I had indeed received a grant. This grant will go toward paying for a significant portion of my program fee. They were very generous and up to now they have been my largest donor. I thank them for their generosity. For more information about the UVic Alumni Association, please visit http://alumni.uvic.ca/.Two other individuals have also donated money recently to my fundraising: Janet Gefre and Pat Finlay. Their contributions have pushed my fundraising efforts beyond $500 Canadian. This is a big milestone and I thank them both for their donations. Janet has also donated a few items to be used in other fundraising events and this addition is also greatly appreciated.
Once again, I would like to thank everyone who has helped me to this point. I look forward to continuing to thank people for their help. Your support is welcomed and if you know of anyone who would want to support a cause like mine, please point them in this direction!
