It will provide access to a range of opportunities from awards, scholarships, and bursaries to support students with their education costs of tuition and books, living expenses, and other needs of the application.

The Community Cupboard is an on-campus food bank program put together in partnership with the Langara College Foundation, Financial Aid, and the Office for Student Engagement; with the support of the Langara Students’ Union and other funders. It was created to help Langara students with food insecurity. The Community Cupboard gives students the opportunity to anonymously pick up one week’s worth of groceries, which provides approximately 21 meals.

 The Community Cupboard is 100% funded through donations, and if you have a bit to share to support the cupboard, please consider making a donation.                   

Every March is Support our Students month at Langara, which celebrates Langara’s spirit of giving, the generosity of our faculty and staff, and the many things that we do as a community to foster student success. In the last few years, events have included Langara Cooks, the Piggy Bank Pageant, Golden Apples and more. 

SOS 2021 will be launching soon. 

Traditionally, the hamper program is offered during the holiday season. However, in response to the challenges and needs because of COVID-19, the program was expanded to offer hampers to students three times a year.

The COVID-19 pandemic has drawn our attention to an important issue: not all students have personal access to computers and other online tools. For low-income students, money is limited and is directed to their basic needs. Students do not have the financial means to purchase a laptop or computer

Langara College is starting a Laptop lending service to help students continue their education online and with adequate tools to succeed. The program is looking to start with 50 laptops with a goal to reach 100 devices. The service is set to begin fall 2020.

Help us remove the barriers to education. Donate now.
