At Cape Breton University, greatness doesn’t stop at the final buzzer. Our student-athletes are not only nationally ranked competitors in their respective sports—they are also leaders in the classroom. In fact, the majority of our varsity athletes achieve the prestigious status of Academic All-Canadians, a testament to their dedication, resilience, and drive for excellence.
The Adopt-A-CAPER program is your opportunity to directly support the future of student-athletes at CBU through scholarships and bursaries. This initiative provides vital financial assistance to help our athletes compete at the highest levels while maintaining strong academic performance.
Why Your Support Matters
Being a student-athlete at CBU requires an incredible commitment—on average, over 15 hours per week are spent training and competing, in addition to full-time academic responsibilities. This demanding schedule often leaves little time for part-time employment, placing financial stress on many of our athletes.
Your donation helps alleviate that burden, ensuring student-athletes can focus on what matters most: achieving success in sport and academics.
The Adopt-A-CAPER program is more than a fundraiser—it’s a community effort that links alumni, families, businesses, and friends with CBU’s proud tradition of varsity sport excellence.
