Congratulations to Our 2025 Scholarship Recipients
Please join us in congratulating our 2025 scholarship recipients. 2025 was an outstanding year for the BCF Scholarships Program,
with forty-one (41) applications received. However, donation receipts were disappointing and while all applicants were fully
deserving of our support, we have only been able to grant fifteen (15) scholarships. Please click on the button below to view the
names and biographies of the scholarship recipients.
‘Thank You’ to all donors, especially our scholarship sponsors: Barbados Overseas Community Canada (BOCC), Bass Installation Ltd, Blue Circle Energy, Diproinduca Canada Ltd, Gloria Baylis Foundation and Rudder Reid Charitable Foundation, which joined our sponsors this year. And ‘Thank You’ also to the members of the Scholarships Selection Panel for their continued hard work and
commitment to BCF, and to the youth our scholarships help to uplift.
As we look forward to 2026, we ask that you continue to donate and help us meet the increasing demand for scholarships.

Join Us and Help Make a Difference
Barbados Canada Foundation is operated entirely by volunteers. Our board of directors consists of eleven volunteers who are responsible for the organization’s governance and management.
Directors serve for a period of three years and are elected at the Annual General Meeting each year. Other volunteers assist board members in organizing fundraising activities such as Bring On The Spring – an annual event which raises funds to purchase medical equipment for donation to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Barbados, the Annual Golf Tournament – which raises funds for donations to other healthcare initiatives, and the Annual BCF Raffle Lottery –
a fundraiser for the BCF Scholarships Program.
In addition to the Board of Directors BCF has three standing committees: BCF Scholarships Program, Communications Committee and Fundraising Committee. Volunteers are needed for each committee. See the mandates for the Board and for the Standing Committees and let us know of your interest.
A tax receipt is issued for each donation of $25 or more
Because We Care
Barbados Canada Foundation is contributing to the improvement of healthcare in Barbados by supporting the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) through the donation of essential medical equipment. We also contribute to the SickKids-Caribbean Initiative, funding pediatric nurse training to enhance care for children with cancer and serious blood disorders across the region. Additionally, we support Camp Jumoke, a Toronto-based summer camp enriching the lives of children living with Sickle Cell Disease. Your donations make these life-changing efforts possible.
