TCF Canada continues its support for high school graduates across Canada, seeking to pursue post-secondary studies, through its financial, needs-based, bursary program.

TCF Canada is a grassroots organization rooted in the belief that quality education is a prerequisite to opening minds and enriching lives. Our goal is to empower the next generation by equipping them with knowledge, fostering intellectual curiosity, and instilling strong values. Through this, we aim to help them build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

In 2022, we expanded our efforts to also help students in Canada. We aim to make a difference in our Canadian communities, through the ‘TCF Canada Youth Bursary Program’. This aligns with our primary objective, which is to provide educational opportunities for the underprivileged children in Pakistan.
