Our Commitment
Fulton In The Community
For 140 years, our firm and our people have supported Kamloops.
Kamloops is our home.
We believe that our success results from success in and around our community, and we make it a priority to stay involved locally. Our people are personally involved in a myriad of charity groups, while our firm sponsors many worthwhile events, scholarships and causes.
We’re grateful for all our community offers and honored to be a part of building it.
Annual Scholarships
One $5,000 award to a 1L and one $5,000 award to a 2L Indigenous student enrolled in the Juris Doctor program, with preference given to a student from the Thompson Nicola Cariboo Region.
This is a flexible fund intended to support multiple Indigenous TRU Law students in any year, in varying amounts.
One scholarship of $1,000 is awarded annually to a student to recognize documented exemplary leadership and service combined with strong academic performance. The recipient will meet all of the requirements for TRU undergraduate entrance scholarships as specified in the General Entrance Scholarship application.
Fulton Cup, Est. 1998
For over 25 years, Fulton has sponsored a city-wide high school basketball tournament. Each December, the Fulton Cup brings together all junior and senior boys and girls teams in a unique 3 day championship event. Showcasing some of the top talent in Kamloops, the Fulton Cup is a highlight in the city’s athletic calendar.
Each year, Fulton awards bursaries to the top players in the tournament, as well as leadership bursaries to one player on each team, as selected by the coaching staff. To date, Fulton has contributed over $85,000 in bursaries to our youth athletes.
