The Korean-Canadian Scholarship Foundation’s Student Development Committee (KCSF-SDC) was formed in 2001 to serve the growing need for leadership development in our community. We are comprised of dedicated young professionals committed to helping younger generations of Korean-Canadians reach their full potential and achieve their ambitions.

Since our inception, we have held numerous events that promote the growth of young leaders including career conferences, mentorship programs, internship opportunities and networking receptions. We also provide funding for student run initiatives that aim to serve the needs within the Korean-Canadian community.
