Celebrating perseverance and resilience<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Quebec Association for Equity and Inclusion in Post-secondary Education (AQEIPS) has spared no effort for the past 26 years. Aware of the constant financial challenges posed by both the cost of living and the academic realities of people with disabilities, the AQEIPS team mobilizes every year to organize a bursary program that would be impossible without the help of our generous donors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our team, humbly made up of four people,<\/a> is as motivated as ever. The program aims to reduce financial barriers and contribute to creating an inclusive environment where all students have the opportunity to thrive academically, while limiting the financial burden associated with their disability. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To date, the bursary program has helped nearly 235 students! <\/strong>Every year, our team perseveres and strives to help as many students as possible, and this 26th edition is as emotional as ever for our team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was with great joy and gratitude that AQEIPS awarded a total of 57 bursaries, ranging in value from $1,000 to $2,000,<\/strong> to students with disabilities from the DEP to the doctorate level, throughout Quebec<\/a>, at this year’s ceremony on April 15, 2025. Once again, it’s a record year for us! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wealth of unique academic paths <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This year, almost 300 students applied for the scholarship program. We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all the students who sent in their applications. Each letter is carefully read, and your stories continue to touch us and fuel our commitment to a truly accessible post-secondary environment. The recipients of the 26th edition of our scholarships are a testament to the resilience and diversity of our student community. We invite you to learn more about their backgrounds here.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
