FEE ASSISTANCE FUND

Help a student get to Shad this summer, time is running out.

Every dollar you give goes directly to fee assistance. Right now, students across Canada are waiting to find out if they can come. The deadline for final decisions is approaching. You can change that answer.

These are not students who almost made it. They earned their spot. The only thing standing between them and a Shad summer is funding.

This year, the need is unlike anything we have seen

Shad has been finding exceptional young students from every corner of the country for over 40 years. This summer, more of them than ever need financial support to attend.

We increased our need-based fee assistance budget from $2.2 million last year to $2.6 million this year, with no additional government support. To support every qualified participant who needs help, we will need to provide $3.1 million, a 39% increase over last year.
