| Description |
The CanWest Global Foundation (“Canwest”) was established in 1997. The foundation focuses its support primarily in the areas of post-secondary education in the arts, media, literacy, journalism and communication studies across Canada and had a long history of community involvement. The foundation’s innovative and award-winning Raise-A-Reader Program is a national fundraising and public awareness initiative in support of children’s literacy.
Through its two foundations, the Asper family has demonstrated its commitment to the community in which it lives and does business. At the heart of these foundations is the philosophy of its founder that insists that one has to give back to society and that one should, while still alive, enjoy seeing the benefits of their giving.
These scholarships are created to recognize academic achievement in the Web & Graphic Design program.
