Algonquin receives $2M gift to support students facing financial barriers

Algonquin College has received a $2M donation from The Joyce Family Foundation to support students facing financial barriers. This gift–which Algonquin says is the largest single contribution in the college’s history–will establish the Joyce Family Foundation Bursary. Recipients will receive a $5K renewable bursary for the duration of their programs. “Investments in education create a ripple effect, benefiting not just the individual recipients but our community as a whole,” said Algonquin VP of Advancement and Strategy Mark Savenkoff. “The Joyce Family Foundation Bursary ensures that financial barriers do not hinder the aspirations of our students.”
