Access + Affordability
Your generous support has the power to transform lives. Many well-deserving students can’t fully participate in the university experience due to financial constraints. Through your generosity, we can provide more students the opportunity to attend the University of Alberta.
That’s what happened to U of A student Sofia Monroy Alvarez, who received an annually funded scholarship made possible by U of A donors:
Receiving a scholarship not only provides me with financial assistance but also gives me renewed motivation and confidence to pursue my dreams. Thanks to donors' support, belief, and trust in my potential, I can do more. As I continue on in my educational journey, I will forever be grateful for this incredible opportunity because of donors like you.
