Attention Class of 2023!  Every year the Stedman Foundation Bursary helps a number of students in Brantford and Brant County pay for their post secondary education. A bursary looks at a student’s level of financial need and their academic success. Typically, bursaries do not require marks as high as those needed to win scholarships. For more information see your Grad D2L Page.
