In 1950, a number of Canadian business people including the late George Jacobsen and the late Alexis Reeford established The Canadian-Scandinavian Foundation to contribute and raise funds to distribute to Canadian university students or equivalent who wish to travel to Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway or Sweden, undertaking some of their studies at a Scandinavian institution. We have had an extraordinary 59 years of success and have helped fund over 300 students.
