$5000 HUUS FAMILY SCHOLARSHIP

The Lisa Huus Memorial Fund provides bursaries up to $5,000 annually per recipient, to assist persons with disabilities to undertake or continue their post-secondary education at an accredited post-secondary institution in British Columbia. Bursaries may be used for items such as tuition fees, textbooks, equipment, transportation, residence and support worker costs.

The bursary was established in 1988 by the family of Lisa Pauline Huus, a sociology student at the University of Victoria. "Lisa fought for her rights to go to university and be treated just like any other student," says her mother Annie Huus. "We established this fund so that students with physical challenges like Lisa can access much needed financial support to pursue their educational dreams."
