We established the Parya Foundation Scholarship Program (PFSP) in the Spring of 2018. The purpose of this program is to support Iranian students who are studying at a publicly funded institution in Canada, have demonstrated academic excellence, and are in need of financial assistance.

In establishing this program, it is our hope to help the recipients of this scholarship offset their educational expenses, in order to provide Iranian students with equal opportunity and representation across fields and disciplines of study.

Our community outreach projects would not be possible without the generous support of our donors and sponsors. In order to sustain and extend the reach of this initiative, we invite community members to contribute to this worthwhile program.

We welcome financial contributions of any amount (from individuals and corporations) for which donors will receive a tax-deductible receipt.

We would also like to offer our donors the opportunity to establish a fund in honour of an individual, company, or cause. Donors of $1500 or more may choose to name their scholarship in consultation with the PFSP Committee.

Donors may also indicate their preference to support certain fields of study. The Scholarship Committee will honour the wish of the donors. On certain occasions, we may have more scholarships available in one field than the number of applicants and in another field have more applicants than the number of scholarships. In such situations, the Scholarship Committee allows to use the excess of funds for scholarships in the fields of study that are short of scholarship fund.

We pool donations of less than $1500 to offer scholarships issued through Parya.
