Liberté Legacy Foundation Scholarship
The Liberté Legacy Foundation supports students at B.C. post-secondary institutions who have demonstrated leadership and an entrepreneurial spirit in advocating for free enterprise and a free society at university campuses and in their communities.
The Foundation was created in 2014 to award scholarships to students at Simon Fraser University and has now been expanded to include students at other British Columbia post-secondary institutions. The Foundation will also support students through mentoring and networking opportunities.
The Liberté Legacy Foundation is looking to award 3 separate scholarships for $10,000 and 2 for $5,000 each per school year. Students in any faculty are eligible.

- Demonstrate independent and entrepreneurial thinking; and,
- Have a track record of contributing to their community and at post-secondary campuses
Awards will be based on a selection process that includes an application and short essay describing the applicant’s career goals, life experiences, and school and community activities in support of free enterprise and a free society.
WHO is the Liberté Legacy Foundation?
The Liberte Legacy Foundation was created by a group of former Simon Fraser University students who formed a friendship around the creation of a free enterprise-oriented student newspaper called “Liberte”. The entrepreneurial, student-run newspaper offered students a different point-of-view: supporting and celebrating the benefits of a free and open society and free enterprise.
The Liberte Legacy Foundation is independent and non-partisan. Its funding comes solely from the donations of individuals and businesses who support the Foundation’s mandate.
