Merit Award Bursary Program

What an incredible night at our 2026 Bowling for Bursaries event!

Congratulations to Capco for winning Best Dressed and Best Team Name, and to FNZ for taking home Best Team Score and the Merit Bowling Cup!

A heartfelt thank you to our Silver Sponsors: Aviso, CI Investment Services, Infinite Investment Systems, NBIN, and TD for your generous support. We’re also grateful to all of our participating teams for bowling to help create bursaries, and to our dedicated planning committee, volunteers, and staff who made the evening such a success.

Together, we raised an incredible $110,000 to support this year’s recipients. Thank you for making a lasting impact!

Students can’t afford to wait. OSAP changes mean more loans, 60% fewer grants, and rising debt. Your gift helps them stay in school today. Donate to create opportunity at www.meritaward.ca

We are delighted to announce that, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, our Holiday Matching campaign was a success; raising $100,000 to support 100 Merit Award Bursaries.

With your contributions, matched by the generous support of Biff & Sue Matthews and Metrix, we have helped open doors and create opportunities for 100 deserving students.

Behind every Merit Award is a group of dedicated volunteers who give their time, care, and attention to choosing well-rounded students.

From reviewing applications to connecting with schools, selecting recipients, and supporting fundraising efforts, the Merit Award team approaches every decision with thoughtfulness and integrity.

Thank you for the care you bring to this work and for helping Merit support students who give their all.

All donations will be matched until December 31 to 2X your impact at meritaward.ca/donate
