The Butters Foundation has been awarding annual bursaries to graduating seniors from both the English & French programs of the bilingual Massey-Vanier Secondary School in Cowansville since the early 1990s. On the English side, two bursaries are awarded each year. The Lily Butters prize ($1,000) is awarded to the top student of the graduating class and a bursary of $500 is awarded to another top level student. These bursaries are intended to support the continuing studies of these winners at the collegial level.
