STUDENTS FIRST

Be the reason they make it to class

Every day, MacEwan University students balance more than just their studies. They also have to pay tuition, buy groceries and cover rent. So it’s not surprising that their big dreams often come with financial and personal challenges.

That’s why your support matters. Scholarships, awards and bursaries help ease those pressures and support our students as they learn, grow and thrive. Your gift today opens doors for students who might otherwise get left behind.

Give today

You choose where your support goes

You can direct your gift to support specific groups such as Indigenous students, student caregivers, 2SLGBTQIA+ students, racialized students or those facing mental health challenges—or you can give to the MacEwan Foundation Fund to support students with the greatest financial need.

MacEwan Foundation Fund

You keep students in school

Sometimes the difference between staying in class and dropping out is as simple as being able to afford textbooks, groceries or child care. Your gift ensures that students don’t have to choose between basic needs and an education.

Uplift the communities that shape our campus

You strengthen Indigenous voices

Education often means leaving home and community. Your gift helps Indigenous students stay rooted while they rise.

You build safe spaces

By supporting 2SLGBTQ+ students, you ensure they learn in a space where they are seen, celebrated and supported.

You prioritize student wellness

Your gift supports students facing mental health challenges and helps them find balance and strength to chase their dreams.

You keep student caregivers going

Help students with dependants pursue their degrees without sacrificing their family’s well-being.

You remove systemic barriers

Your gift breaks down barriers and helps students from underserved communities thrive in the classroom and beyond.

The support not only restored my faith in myself, accepting that I was good at this type of work, but it also allowed a release of the stress I was feeling. The support came when I needed it most.
