Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Alumni Family Scholarship

Supported by TD Insurance

We love to see Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ students following in their family member's footsteps. If you're an Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ alumnus, and you have a family member (child, grandchild, or parent of an alum) currently enrolled in an Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ program, they are eligible to apply for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Alumni Family Scholarship.

This Scholarship has been established to support and encourage the next wave of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ alumni members while giving back to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Alumni family. We are pleased to award four scholarships annually to family members of past Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ graduates.

Four $1,000 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Alumni Family Scholarships will be awarded to current Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Students each year.

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Alumni provides these Scholarships as a benefit and a gesture of appreciation to our alumni and future alumni.
