The Canadian Federation of University Women Owen Sound and Area has created a new endowment fund for local students with the Community Foundation Grey Bruce. The $20,000. donation was made during the club's 25th anniversary celebration luncheon at Legacy Ridge Country Club last week. The Community Foundation Grey Bruce will also put in $10,000. to the fund. That creates a permanent fund to provide annual scholarships for local high school graduates moving on to post secondary education. The Foundation has granted upwards of $600,000. in 2015, which is the largest annual distribution in its 21 year history. "We are pleased to have our funds with the Community Foundation and appreciate their generous fund matching as it represents many years of fundraising effort for us," said Ruth Henderson, the new President for the CFUW Owen Sound & Area."
For a quarter century, CFUW has provided educational opportunities for female high school graduates residing in Owen Sound & area who are pursuing post-secondary studies. CFUW membership is now open to all women, not just those who have completed university degrees
