The Northern College Foundation

How We are Different
The Foundation is the primary fundraising arm of Northern College,
and is dedicated to supporting students’ financial needs, educational programs and services of Northern College.

The Foundation members are community leaders from various sectors
of society who are committed for supporting Northern College’s quality programs, and who actively promote access to educational opportunities that meet the needs of community members.

By serving as ambassadors of Northern College within the community at large, the Foundation members promote links to the area's business and industry.

Through use of personal networking, the Foundation members seek to create funding opportunities for student bursaries and awards for educational initiatives.
