Support for Higher Education Empowers Futures

The Sobey Foundation’s commitment to education is exemplified through its support for accessible post-secondary education for young Atlantic Canadians. Through scholarship endowments and capital improvements, the Foundation has established valuable partnerships with several esteemed universities, including Mount Allison University, Saint Mary’s University, University of New Brunswick, St. Francis Xavier University, McMaster University, Dalhousie University, Acadia University, Cape Breton University, Mount Saint Vincent University, and the Université de Moncton.

These collaborations are more than financial support; they are investments in the intellectual and professional development of students. The Foundation’s scholarships provide vital opportunities for students, enabling them to pursue higher education regardless of their financial background. This democratization of education ensures that talent and ambition are the primary determinants of academic and professional success.

In addition to scholarships, the Foundation’s contributions to capital improvements significantly enhance educational infrastructure. These upgrades range from modernizing learning spaces to integrating advanced technology, fostering an engaging and effective learning environment.

Through these strategic partnerships, the Sobey Foundation not only impacts the current educational landscape but also invests in the potential of future generations. Its role in supporting higher education is pivotal to the socio-economic development of the Atlantic Canadian region, paving the way for a community poised for innovation and leadership.
