Simon Fraser University

At SFU, The Courage to Persevere Project serves undergraduate students that are registered with the Centre for Accessible Learning (CAL).

Established in 2020, the SFU Courage to Persevere Award was the first of it's kind. Since 2020, C2P has honoured 6 deserving students at SFU. 

Our minimum fundraising goal, to endow our award and support students for years to come, is $40,000.

The Courage to Persevere Project respectfully acknowledges that its founders are uninvited guests that live and work on the traditional and unceded territories of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Songhees and Xʷsépsəm (Esquimalt) Nations) and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples (MÁLEXEȽ – Malahat First Nation, BOḰEĆEN – Pauquachin First Nation, SȾÁ¸UTW̱ – Tsawout First Nation, W̱JOȽEȽP – Tsartlip First Nation, and W̱SÍḴEM – Tseycum First Nation). 

 

We acknowledge with gratitude the Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples, whose historical relationships with these lands, waters, and communities continue to this day. We recognize the enduring presence and resilience of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples across what is now called Canada, and the ongoing impacts of colonization, forced displacement, and genocide. With humility, we commit ourselves to meaningful action in advancing reconciliation and to supporting the success and well-being of Indigenous learners in post-secondary education.
