CFUW Hamilton

CFUW Hamilton is not a service delivery organization; instead, we focus on raising funds for scholarships and bursaries for women scholars. We offer five scholarships annually, ranging from $1,000 to $2,000, to support young women in their pursuit of post-secondary education. Our scholarships are sustained through fundraising events, donations, bequests, and memorials, with 100% of donations going directly to the scholarships.
