Simon Fraser University

SFU has supported the work of the Foundation with a contribution of $250,000 to the Fernandez Earle Scholarship Endowment Fund. The interest generated from the fund will help defray the cost to the Foundation of the annual scholarships.
Hawaii Pacific University
Hawaii Pacific University is an international learning centre set in the rich cultural context of Hawaii. Students from around the world pursue an education built on a liberal arts foundation.

The University of Hawaii
The University of Hawaii, founded as the College of Agriculture & Mechanic Arts in Honolulu in 1907 has grown to now consist of 10 campuses and educational centres spread throughout the 6 islands of Hawaii.

Western Washington University
With 15,000 students, 160 academic programs, and an energized campus community, Western offers the focus on students and the faculty access of a smaller college and the academic choice, resources, multicultural diversity, and room to grow of a large university. Not so big that you feel like a number; not so small that you have to conform to a mold. Large enough for you to define yourself and small enough that you make a difference.
High Schools of the Queen Charlotte Islands
Another vital relationship is with the high schools of the Queen Charlotte Islands. Since inception, the Foundation has enjoyed an excellent working relationship with both Queen Charlotte Secondary School in Queen Charlotte City, and with George M. Dawson Secondary School in Masset. The schools have worked closely with the Foundation to help ensure their students are well informed about the scholarship program and to help ensure that the most deserving students are selected for these awards.
