Scholarship Dinner
Scholarship Dinner
Each year the Dhillon School of Business and its advisory board acknowledge the contributions of an outstanding member of our community through a scholarship fundraising dinner. Donations raised by the dinner then establish a scholarship fund in the name of the honouree. Proceeds from this fund are used to provide deserving students with financial support that will assist them in attaining their educational goals. To date, more than $2 million has been raised for student scholarships because of this event.

Why it matters:
In March 2025, the Dhillon School of Business will be celebrating the impact of past, present and future Indigenous Elders as well as break down barriers and invest in the education of Indigenous students.
Elders are critical to the vibrancy on campus. They share their knowledge, wisdom and traditional practices, offer guidance and support, and provide cultural teaching and spiritual mentoring to our students, staff and faculty.
Your sponsorship not only honors tradition and community but also directly supports scholarships, creating pathways to education and opportunity for the next generation. Together, we can make a lasting impact and support Reconciliation through education.
