The Open Doors Bursary fund
The need for the intentional formation of young adults continues to increase while financial pressures create barriers to access. We believe that diversity is a gift and learning is enhanced when the Act Five table is filled with young people from all walks of life.
The Open Doors Bursary Fund assists participants for whom program costs would otherwise be a significant barrier and promotes the enrolment of Act Five participants with particular areas of vocational or other interests. The fund includes 4 specific bursaries as well as a general financial aid fund.
