About The Scholarship
The Community Leader Scholarship is a full-tuition award for students who are already making a positive impact in their communities and who demonstrate strong academic promise. Created to expand access to a St. George’s School education, this program is rooted in our mission to develop students of character who make a difference in the world.
We are looking for students across Vancouver with exceptional potential and a passion for service. This scholarship provides more than financial support — it offers a life-changing opportunity to grow, lead, and thrive.

For Donors & Supporters
We are committed to supporting each Community Leader Scholar through to Graduation. Students typically begin in Grade 8 and spend five years at the school.
To honour the full scope of this opportunity, we fund each scholar individually. No student begins their journey until we have secured the full amount needed to support them for all five years.
Your donation provides:
- Access to all aspects of student life.
- Mentorship and wraparound support.
- A long-term investment in a student’s future and in Vancouver’s next generation of leaders.
You are opening doors for students who are already making a difference in their communities, and who have the potential to become future leaders in government, business, innovation, education, and beyond. We welcome unrestricted contributions to the Scholarship Endowment Fund, as well as conversations about how your philanthropy can make a lasting impact.
BY GIVING, YOU CAN HELP SHAPE NOT JUST A STUDENT’S FUTURE, BUT THE FUTURE OF VANCOUVER.
