Educational activities include the Canadian Association of Physicists's secondary school exam, the University Prize Exam, a national lecture tour program and an undergraduate conference, all of which are supported by donations to the CAP Foundation. The CAPF also makes a prize available for the Canada-Wide Science Fair. The CAPF also has a fund which is used to support Canadian graduate students attending the biannual Canada-America-Mexico graduate student conference. In 2009, the CAPF established a HS/CEGEP Teacher's Award fund to hold monies to be used to award a prize to an outstanding HS/CEGEP Physics Teacher in each of the five defined regions in Canada, starting in 2010. In 2011, the CAPF established a Stoicheff Graduate Student Scholarship endorsement fund. Interest earned from that fund is used to award a scholarship to a deserving physics graduate every even year.
