# Seneca announces first EDI initiatives supported through The Jane Fund

The first allocations from The Jane Fund will contribute $250,000 to support equity, diversity and inclusion \(EDI\) initiatives at Seneca for students in need, an artist-in-residence and an ongoing speaker’s series on campus.

While criteria are still being finalized, $25,000 will be dedicated to full-tuition bursaries for students enrolled in programs with pathways to Seneca, such as [Youth to Postsecondary](https://www.senecacollege.ca/support/support-a-project/youth-to-postsecondary-education-project.html), [Academic Upgrading](https://www.senecacollege.ca/programs/fulltime/AUC.html) and [General Arts](https://www.senecacollege.ca/programs/fulltime/GAP.html). The bursaries will cover costs for an entire Seneca program.
