Legacy Foundation

The Legacy Foundation is committed to supporting the next generation of professionals. The foundation’s sole purpose is to support the education of deserving young people across Canada. 

 

The mission of the Legacy Foundation is to promote the intertwined values of professionalism and service, both to community and to country. This mission is accomplished by awarding scholarships for post-secondary education.

The pursuit of knowledge is a cornerstone value for PIPSC. We have always understood the importance of education to our members and to Canadian society.

Through the generous donations of our PIPSC community and corporate sponsors, the foundation has generated more than a million dollars in scholarships for young Canadians.

Scholarships

Our scholarship program began in 1999 with an endowment from PIPSC members to form a scholarship fund. Since then, corporate sponsors and the PIPSC community have contributed funding for additional scholarships.

The Legacy Foundation offers scholarships to children and grandchildren of regular or retired PIPSC members. Students must be entering their first year of post-secondary education in a full-time program or continuing their education in a Master's or Doctorate program.

Please note that we are currently preparing to launch for 2025.
