Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Fund

Seneca has established the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Fund to help remove systemic and economic barriers

Donate Now

Access to postsecondary education is not equal for everyone. There are many systemic and economic barriers preventing students from accessing education that can change their lives.

In an effort to balance the scales of inequity faced by too many of our students, we are calling upon the larger Seneca community to join us in helping to ensure every student has access to education and the same opportunities to succeed.

You can feel good knowing 100 per cent of your gift will go directly to supporting our students.

Today, our donors generously support 43 awards, bursaries and scholarships specifically created for equity-deserving students. 

To learn more or to receive information about establishing your own award for equity-deserving students, please email advancement@senecapolytechnic.ca.

On behalf of all of our students, thank you for your generosity.

“Financial support for equity-deserving groups is important to help students who will face barriers when they seek employment. I established a student award for the 2SLGBTQ+ community to level the playing field. Your donation could make the difference between a student finishing their program or not.”

"Supporting students who encounter barriers to accessing and completing postsecondary is key to helping them achieve success. Many believe that working hard is all that's necessary to achieve one's goals. But, for some students, especially those from racialized communities, a variety of supports and targeted Interventions are required to both supplement and enhance their own efforts. These supports are the essential tools needed to level the playing field and ensure students achieve positive results."
