Double your impact with a gift to the Alumni Pay It Forward Bursary

Spring is just around the corner, bringing new beginnings and fresh opportunities, and for Seneca students, that means a chance to focus on their future without the burden of financial stress.

To help them succeed, an anonymous donor has generously committed to match all donations, dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000! That means every gift you make will go twice as far in providing students with essentials like food, housing and academic resources.

But time is limited, all matched donations must be made by 11:59 p.m. on March 31, 2025. Don't miss this chance to double your impact and help students start this new season with the support they need.

Make your matched gift today!
