The Alpha Bursaries, which are intended to reward an innovative project in basic education or literacy, ultimately aim to increase the literacy levels in Quebec’s population. They target Quebec community organizations involved in literacy training, united in their desire to see literacy make headway. Since it was first launched in 2018, the bursary program has attracted the interest of many such organizations, leading to several inspiring, sustainable, and transferable projects.
The Alpha Bursary has, since its creation, awarded six bursaries, totalling $47,500, to organizations across Quebec for the development of literacy projects.
