Tanabe Bursaries
Making a life without limits one student at a time – that’s what the Cerebral Palsy Association of BC has been doing since 1994 with our bursary program – which is open to any student, in BC, 17 years and older wishing to attend an institute of higher learning in the following year.
The bursary is named after Yoshinori Tanabe in recognition of his years of dedication and advocacy for people living with Cerebral Palsy in British Columbia.
The funds for this bursary have been jointly funded by the Kinsmen Foundation and the Cerebral Palsy Association of BC.
