The Heather L. Main Memorial Scholarship Fund honours the memory of a pioneering woman in Canadian capital markets. It was established in 1998 to promote the industry and to encourage qualified women, in participating Canadian graduate business schools, to pursue careers in the capital markets.

The scholarship, mentoring, and internship programs build the practical skills and experience necessary to launch a successful career in capital markets. Over time, the program will augment the talent pool for the Canadian capital markets and finance industries. To learn more about past scholarship winners, see the list of past recipients as linked below.

The Scholarship Fund is governed by a Management Committee appointed by the board of Women in Capital Markets. It is a registered charitable organization (Charitable Registration No. 86 700 1893 RR0001). The Fund is also a proud sponsor of the Judy Project - an Enlightened Leadership Forum for executive women.
