VIU launches $2M Ripples of Change campaign to support student financial awards

Vancouver Island University has launched the Ripples of Change campaign, which will raise funds for scholarships, awards, and bursaries. This campaign will run until Spring 2027 with the goal of raising $2M to boost the number of financial awards available, as well as their amounts. “Every gift creates a ripple of impact and helps a student stay in school and reach their full potential,” said VIU Foundation Chair Lee Rowley. “As inflation and living costs continue to rise, demand for financial assistance also rises. Support from donors helps close this gap for students facing financial hardship.”
