The Pathway of Hope Scholarship Program has been established to offer financial assistance to students continuing their education at the Canadian University or College levels. Funds are generously donated by:

  • Canadian corporations
  • Family foundations
  • Service Clubs
  • Private Individuals

Start2Finish will conduct annual National Fundraising Campaigns with specific contribution targets by province. Our annual minimum goal is $500,000 over the next 8-10 years.

The Start2Finish Pathway of Hope Scholarship is available to students across Canada who are currently in their final year of high school (outside of Quebec) or final year of CEGEP (in Quebec).  Priority is given to (though not limited to) applicants who have participated in Start2Finish programs as recipients or volunteers.  Eligible candidates must demonstrate a need for financial assistance.
