Scholarship

Kristy Cook, 2018 CTC Sports Marketing Award winner

To mark the 10th anniversary of 5 to Watch, and in recognition of the resilience of our students, we launched the “10k for 5 to Watch’s 10TH Anniversary” Fundraising Campaign. Our goal was to raise $10,000 to fund entrance scholarships for incoming George Brown Sport and Event Marketing students from underrepresented communities, including, but not limited to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour), women, 2SLGBTQIA+, newcomers to Canada, and people with disabilities.

The campaign continues to run so please show your support by donating to this campaign. 100% of your donation will directly go to support the scholarship. Help us to ensure that the next decade of sports business leaders are as diverse and inclusive as the community that George Brown College stands for.
