In Richmond Secondary Schools
- Membership dues fund five scholarships annually to graduating women from Richmond secondary schools
- Club members present the scholarships to the recipients at their graduation ceremonies.
- Recipients are selected by their schools based on marks, community service, and need.
- As there are 10 secondary schools, scholarships alternate to five schools one year and the other five the following year.
- Membership dues also fund one scholarship annually to a graduating female indigenous student. The student must self identify as indigenous and plan to continue her post secondary education or training.
Kwantlen Polytechnic University
- CFUW Richmond has funded a $40,000 endowment with Kwantlen Polytechnic University Foundation.
- The interest earned on this endowment, funds two $1000 scholarships annually. The recipients are women who have graduated from a Richmond secondary school, completed one year of post secondary study and registered in a degree program.
- Economic need is a factor in awarding the scholarship.
Nationally
- Each year CFUW Clubs across Canada award $1 million in scholarships to women.
- Through the CFUW Charitable Trust, we fund post-graduate programs for deserving women.
