The Juanita L. Black Bursary Fund
The Juanita L. Black Bursary Fund, established in 2017, awards annual bursaries to graduates from Crescent Valley/Anglin Drive attending Harbour View High School who are pursuing post-secondary education.
Juanita Black was a tireless and unwavering advocate who dedicated her entire adult life to helping develop solutions, both as a community leader and as a team member, to reduce barriers for those experiencing generational poverty in Crescent Valley and across Saint John's priority neighbourhoods.
True to her lifelong commitment to finding solutions, Juanita approached the Community Foundation in December 2017 to establish a permanently endowed fund supporting one or more bursaries for graduates from the Crescent Valley/Anglin Drive community attending Harbour View High School and pursuing post-secondary education: the Juanita L. Black Bursary Fund.
Each bursary is a minimum of $1,000. Through the generosity of donors, Juanita's legacy continues to grow, allowing more students to receive support each year and increasing the impact of each award.
