Annual Scholarship Fundraising Event 2025
Speaking for the Earth
CFUW-Northumberland was thrilled that Rick Beaver was our special guest at the annual CFUW-Northumberland Scholarship Fundraising Event on May 6, 2025. Rick is a well-known wildlife biologist and conservationist and is especially recognized for his advocacy on behalf of the Alderville Black Oak Savanna where he was the research and restoration coordinator.
A big thank you to all the members and guests who made this event so successful. Close to $4,000 was raised to support our scholarships, enabling young women across Northumberland to pursue their educational dreams.
In 2024, CFUW-Northumberland awarded over $14,000 in scholarships and bursaries to female Northumberland County students from the six Northumberland County high schools, Trent University, Fleming College and the First People’s House of Learning at Trent University. In addition to the six annual college/university entrance scholarships, six scholarships were awarded to female students entering apprenticeship programs.
