The Caroline Chagnon '07 Memorial Bursary will be accepting applications annually. The bursary was established in 2018 by Caroline’s family in honour of her memory. After graduating with honours from Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf, Trinity College School and Queen’s University, Caroline’s plan was to continue studying for a master’s degree. Unfortunately, her hopes and dreams were cut short by cancer. She was 26 years old.
The two years Caroline spent at Trinity College School were very rewarding. The donor hopes to give other students the opportunity to enjoy the same experience at TCS.
