Last year, we awarded over one million dollars in bursaries and scholarships. The cost of the program should not be the reason a student does not apply! We hope to see students from your school join the SHAD Network of over 17,000 alumni, and enjoy the lifelong benefits of the SHAD Fellow designation, which is recognized and valued by university admissions and scholarship providers.
