Join Us in Celebrating a Diamond Legacy of Innovation and Impact and Shaping What Comes Next
A Bold Investment in Student Success
In celebration of Schulich’s 60th Anniversary, we are proud to introduce the Schulich Student Access Fund — a bold new initiative that empowers exceptional students by removing financial barriers and unlocking life-changing opportunities.
Your support helps high-potential students from Canada and around the world, including entrepreneurial changemakers and innovators access the full Schulich experience. The fund provides sustainable support across all programs, enabling students to participate in transformative learning opportunities such as global case competitions, international study tours, and leadership conferences. With your generosity, students don’t just succeed — they thrive, lead, and shape the future.
SUPPORTED EXPERIENCES INCLUDE:
Global and national case competitions
Global and national study tours and exchange programs
Experiential courses and community impact projects
Leadership conferences and workshops
Financial aid for access and inclusion
Why Your Gift Matters
Schulich students consistently achieve excellence on the global stage — but many face financial barriers that limit their ability to participate in transformative learning experiences.
“ This case competition experience would not have been possible without the generous support provided by Schulich’s donor community... enabling a singular experiential learning opportunity at the intersection of finance and sustainability.”
