The Law’86 Bursary – Let’s finish strong before our 40th!

The Law 1986 Bursary has now reached $308,814 – this is tremendous progress toward our goal of $375,000. As part of the fundraising efforts, we have confirmed a matching donation of up to $30,000 from a member of our class. In other words, for every dollar donated up to $30,000, we receive a 2-for-1 deal!

With this milestone, we'll not only convert our bursary into a renewable one, offering consistent support to recipients across all three years, but we'll also finally "blow past" our esteemed colleagues in Law'80 on the endowed class rankings to the top spot. The gap is narrower than ever, and we’re confident we can take the lead. To check our current standing, visit the class giving rankings online.

Recognizing that financial barriers should never stand in the way of a young person’s ability to access education, the Law'86 bursary has supported 15 students and disbursed $47,600 in much-needed financial assistance since its inception. But with tuition now over $22,000 per year and the rising cost of living, the need for support has never been greater. Many students face financial challenges that weren't part of our experience. Your gift can help address those barriers and expand access to legal education for students.

We encourage you to make your next contribution before our reunion this fall. Our goal is to have as many classmates participate as possible. Donations of all sizes are welcome and can be spread over a maximum of 5 years. Donations made within Canada are fully tax deductible and gifts of securities are also accepted. If you have any questions, please contact Zabrina Testa.

Thank you for being part of this effort and for continuing to make a real impact on the next generation of Queen's Law students.
