Legacy Scholarship Fund

The EDAC/Daryl Black Legacy Scholarship Fund was established to increase national awareness of the economic development profession

EDAC is thrilled to offer its members an exceptional opportunity to be acknowledged in communities across Canada for the important and valuable work you do. The EDAC/Daryl Black Legacy Scholarship Fund was established to increase national awareness of the economic development profession, and to increase the public’s appreciation of the valuable contributions made by economic development professionals to communities across Canada.

First launched in 2006, the EDAC/Daryl Black Legacy Scholarship Fund was established to increase national awareness of EDAC and of the economic development profession, and to increase the public’s appreciation of the valuable contributions made by economic development professionals to communities across Canada. Each year, EDAC awards a Legacy Scholarship to a local student in the conference host community. Each scholarship will serve as a local legacy that through media releases and local award ceremonies will publicize the valuable work done by EDAC members and your continuing contribution to our local communities.

The EDAC legacy continues to grow!
