THE
CANADIAN PROGRESS CLUB CALGARY EVES SCHOLARSHIP FUND
 The
Calgary Eves are doing it again. It was back in 1977 when CPC “Calgary Eves” made history by
becoming the first “all women's service club ever chartered in
Canada." Now we are leaving a legacy to our community with an
“Our Millennium Project” The “CANADIAN PROGRESS CLUB CALGARY
EVES SCHOLARSHIP FUND”.
Two funds have been set up that are similar in nature. One fund has
been set up at “Mount Royal
College” and another at “The University of Calgary”. These
funds will be Permanently Endowed Scholarship funds. The Calgary Eves
have contributed $5000.00 to
each of these funds. Matching contributions of $5000.00 will be made
to each fund from Alberta
Opportunity Bursary Fund, making the total of the “CANADIAN PROGRESS
CLUB CALGARY EVES
SCHOLARSHIP FUND” $20,000. Additional donations may be made to the
funds by anyone at anytime. These scholarship funds will provide an annual award to a full-time
student entering his or
her second year and enrolled in any program. The required criteria will be based on academic merit, financial need and participation current or past in the Big Sisters or Big Brothers program (formerly Aunts or Uncles at Large). In the case where no candidate meets this criterion then children of current CPC members will be eligible. If there are no candidates who meet these requirements then it will be based on academic, merit and financial need only Each year CPC Calgary Eves will be advised of the award recipient and invited to present award at special function. Over the past twenty-four years the “Calgary Eves” have worked very hard in our community. We are now very excited and proud to be leaving behind this legacy.
