Korean Canadian Scholarship FoundationNurturing Students to Achieve Their Full PotentialWelcome to the Korean Canadian Scholarship Foundation (KCSF) – an organization dedicated to helping students achieve their dreams. Founded in 1978 by the pioneering 1st generation of Korean-Canadians, the organization has continuously evolved to help students soar and achieve their potential.Vision: Growing the dream trees of tomorrow.The concept of "dream trees" is unique to our Korean heritage. Generations before us have traditionally held dreams, hopes and aspirations for the next generation. Our youth represent promising dream trees nurtured by the prior generation to cultivate their talent and fulfill their potential for growth. As our youth reach their full potential, the dreams of the generation before are fulfilled, and those dream trees blossom and plant seeds for future generations. The KCSF was founded on this principle by the founding members in 1978.MissionThe mission of the KCSF is to nurture students to achieve their full potential and to provide opportunities for Korean­Canadian students to create their unique paths to success. The KCSF seeks to develop a new generation of leaders who will continue with the values of the KCSF and nurture new dream trees. The KCSF accomplishes this primarily through its scholarship and student development programs. KCSF ProgramsThe KCSF started out offering scholarships to post-secondary students. That foundation still exists. Today, we have expanded our service to the community via bursaries and pro-active programs via the Student Development Committee and Steering Committee.
