University Women's Club of Montreal Inc. - UWCM

Incorporated in 1927, the original purpose of the University Women's Club of Montreal, Inc. (UWCM) was: "To help women in need, to promote the best possible public education for all, and to enjoy a life of the mind with other women." We are still true to those goals. The UWCM is a private, non-profit organization that brings together university women graduates from diverse academic and professional fields without any distinction as to age, colour, race or beliefs. Established in 1985, the UWCM Public Foundation awards bursaries to mature women to further their university education. It also supports various Montreal charities through various fundraising efforts.
