Help Your "Family" - Alumni Family Bursary
Help your “Family”
Support NSAC’s Alumni Family Bursary
Students, staff, faculty, alumni and our community – we may not all be direct relatives, but NSAC is a really large “family”.
Even if you don’t have a relative at NSAC, as part of the larger NSAC family, your donation to NSAC’s Alumni Family Bursary will help your “family members” receive a great education and ensure they have a better chance to make a difference. It’s a great family investment.
During the month of February, students are soliciting to help raise funds for the bursary. They are going to be spending their free time calling family members, looking for support.
As a staff member and part of the large “family” we hope you’ll support the cause too!
Help your family by joining our Facebook fan page at facebook.com/nsacu and clicking "Support NSAC’s Alumni Family Bursary" under the Causes section in the left bar.
Donations can also be made:
Online at nsac.ca/donate/
Or, by dropping into the Development & External Relations office.
