Beth and Bill Vance Bursary
Shauna Jones is an Royal Roads University alumni and the proprietor of People Performance Power Corporate and Personal Consulting Group. Shauna offers an annual bursary in the name of Beth and Bill Vance – two people who supported her through her two years at RRU. The bursary is $5,000 for one individual who requires further education to develop his or her career and would not be able to complete his or her studies without this bursary.
The concept of this bursary springs from a desire to facilitate the growth of individuals who are fully engaged in and passionate about their life’s work. The donors believe that when people are self-aware and feel responsible for their choices, they are vibrant and powerful contributors in their occupations, within their communities and in the world at large. Shauna wants to pass on to others the assistance and inspiration that has been given to her.
