providing financial support for continuing CPE/PTE education for students and for spiritual care research 

Student Bursary Program

Bursaries are awarded to individuals who are CASC/ACSS Members and are enrolled in a CASC/ACSS accredited course in either CPE or PTE
​
​The funds for bursaries are made possible through the Archie MacLachlan Memorial Award. Through a generous donation by Archie MacLachlan in 1997, the CFSC/FCSS was established and since 2007, $85,500 has been disbursed to CASC/ACSS student members to help support their educational efforts. According to Don Misener, a long-time member and first President of the Foundation, “Archie’s wish was to provide financial support for continuing CPE/PTE education for students and for spiritual care research”.  Please Note: All bursary applicants must submit a Letter of Support from their Supervisor-Educator with their online application.  
The Foundation Board of Directors looks forward to reading your applications.
