WHY WE'RE HERE

Education can offer life-changing opportunities, but every year, too many bright, driven students from disadvantaged backgrounds make the decision not to pursue post-secondary education because they can't afford it.
We're here to help.

Not your typical scholarship program

The Beedie Luminaries Scholarship is for students with potential who are facing financial adversity. Students who are smart, but constrained by circumstance. Students who are resilient and gritty. Students who are ready to make a positive change in their lives.
See what it's all about

ARE YOU THE ONE?

We offer three comprehensive programs that support Grade 12 students, single parents, and refugees students in their pursuit of further education.
