Ways to Support Emily Carr

At Emily Carr University of Art + Design, we strive to ensure that all gifted students, regardless of their financial means, can pursue their art education. We provide donor funded scholarships, bursaries and awards to help students achieve their educational goals and realize their artistic dreams. We are especially appreciative of endowed gifts as they assist our current students while contributing to the perpetual health of the University's scholarship, bursary and awards program.
