Every year, Bethany presents the Founders’ Bursary Awards to two very deserving children of Bethany employees. The Board of Trustees established the Founders’ Bursary Awards in 1995 during the 50th Anniversary of Bethany to honour the Founders of Bethany Care Society. Through the program, two $1,500 bursaries are awarded each year to the children of Bethany employees who are pursuing post-secondary education. The awards are an expression of Bethany living its mission of creating caring communities by recognizing staff through the achievements of their children.
The criteria for the awards include scholastic achievement, outstanding leadership, clear and compelling career goals and a commitment to the community. Bethany has awarded 40 individuals over the years, totaling $60,000. The Bethany Care Foundation provides the financial support for the Founders’ Bursary Awards through the generosity of donors.
All Bethany staff are encouraged to have their children apply for the Award. Application forms are available on Connections (under “News”) or from Human Resources, and the deadline for applying this year is July 31, 2017.
