Samuel W. Stedman (1881-1965)

Samuel Stedman established a charitable foundation, the Samuel W. Stedman Foundation. The aim of which is to help and encourage young people to obtain the education and skills necessary to become contributing members of Canadian society. Since the people of Brantford had supported him as a young man he wished to help young people from the city of Brantford or the county of Brant with a Bursary for those students who would continue their undergraduate studies at a college or university in the province of Ontario. Additionally, he wanted to help other Brantford and Brant County based organizations prosper such as he did.
