Frances Mills-Clements Bursary

 

2010 introducing the Frances Mills-Clements International Development Fund

Our first recipient internationally is Treasure Beach Women’s Benevolent Society

BACKGROUND

 

In honour of Frances’ lifetime of dedication to the women of her community, the Western Area Women’s Coalition and the Nova Scotia Advisory Council on the Status of Women organized an evening of musical tribute during Women’s History Month in October 2003.  Frances decided that she would like to see any donations from the event go towards bursaries for women currently residing in Digby, Annapolis or Kings County seeking post-secondary education; and so began the Frances Mills-Clements Bursary.
