ALS Canada is committed to supporting the ALS community in various ways, including administering an annual bursary to support Canadian students attending a post-secondary institute whose life has been touched by ALS.

Kevin Daly Bursary

The ALS Canada Kevin Daly Bursary was created in 2023 to help Canadian students attending a post-secondary institute achieve their dreams of higher education.

The Kevin Daly Bursary Fund has been created as part of a lasting legacy, celebrating the life and character of Kevin. Funding for this initiative will be raised during a year-long Bursary Fund campaign with donations managed by ALS Canada and the TELUS Team Care program. The campaign will run each year and award a minimum of one $2,500 bursary annually. All donors will receive a receipt from ALS Canada for their contribution.

Extra consideration will be given to those who are studying within an area that could support ALS research, care, or advocacy (e.g., biomedical sciences, nursing, neuroscience, political studies, law, etc.)

Eligibility Requirements

  • Canadian students who have been accepted into a post-secondary school within Canada for the 2024-2025 term
  • Students must also have a close connection to ALS:
      • those whose parent(s) or legal guardian is living with ALS
      • has a parent(s) or legal guardian who has passed away from ALS

Applications will be reviewed by a panel appointed by ALS Canada, including members of the ALS community.
