BURSARIES 2004 A ceremony was held on November 24, at the Leonardo da Vinci Centre, the Canadian-Italian Business and Professional Association (CIBPA) to remit a total of $110 000 to 47 university students, from a selection process which reflects both academic record and financial need. This 43rd edition of the CIBPA Bursary Program, succeeded in surpassing the $2 000 000 milestone; CIBPA is the largest private donor of bursaries in Canada. "This tremendous community effort, spearheaded by Rita de Santis, Rocco Caruso and Mario Torre, underscores the generosity of our many donors", said William Rigutto, president of the CIBPA. "The business community understands and values the necessity of a higher education and wishes to assist those whose quest of it would, without our assistance, be jeopardized."
