We're bringing the Western Chances community together for connection and learning - and we'd love for you to be a part of it.
Over the past 22 years, Western Chances has awarded scholarships to more than 4,400 remarkable young people. That means our alumni community is now thousands strong, thriving across various industries, professions, and life stages.
To bring this incredible community closer together, we're hosting a special event exclusively for our Western Chances alumni and tertiary recipients to connect with each other, expand their network, and explore the next step in their leadership journey.
Please note, this is a private event exclusive to Western Chances tertiary recipients, alumni (past scholarship recipients), staff, and invited guests.
However, If you are a current tertiary recipient or alumnus, you’re welcome to bring along a guest — this could be a friend, peer, colleague, or family member who shares your interest in leadership and community.
