Your support means so much.
Gifts in support of students allow us to provide much needed financial assistance as they pursue their educational goals. Your gift will have an immediate and meaningful impact on a student’s life, allowing many to remain in school and achieve their goals. You even have the option to name your form of support, thereby creating your legacy at VIU, honour a milestone, or remember a loved one. We're here to help you navigate the process.

Breaking down barriers to education: About the VIU Access Fund
The VIU Access Fund was established in 2021 and is a flexible and inclusive support that addresses needs as they arise, ensuring students can focus on their education. The fund provides awards of $500 to $2,000 and is available to any student at any time with a less formal application compared with traditional student awards. Selection is based solely on need. It also funds special initiatives such as a laptop loan program, gear-lending closet for students in resource management programs and a grocery shuttle transporting students in residence to local stores to get healthy, lower-cost food.
Current Donor-Funded Awards
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we offer more than 2,000 awards, scholarships and bursaries annually to our students!
