Members of the University Women’s Club in Toronto have started awarding $80,000 worth of scholarships to high school girls in Toronto and Inqaluit
The University Women’s Club in Toronto has been around since 1903 and it has a long tradition of community activism. In recent years the club has turned its attention to supporting young women in higher education.
In 2010, the organization sold its building in downtown Toronto to the University of Toronto and members now meet in the university’s Faculty Club. Proceeds from the sale helped create an endowment of a few million dollars and in 2018 the group launched a foundation to administer the money.
