The Grandma Francie Scholarship for Women’s Education
This scholarship was created by Grandma Francie’s 8 grandchildren. To know her was to love her; to spend time with her was to learn something from her. From lunch recipes to life lessons, everything she touched turned to love and light. Grandma Francie will be missed by her 6 granddaughters and 2 grandsons as they continue through life without her positively powerful presence. Having never fulfilled her lifelong dream of being a teacher, her 8 grandchildren created The Grandma Francie Memorial Fund for Women’s Education wherein they shall select a student in financial need to receive a complete scholarship toward the fulfilment of a Bachelor’s degree in Education at either McGill, Concordia University or a University located in Toronto. Please note, the student will be required to reapply each subsequent year to be considered. Our family is honoured to help change a life in honour of a life who changed so many.
