We are delighted to announce that two $5,000 scholarships and two $2,500 scholarships are available to assist First Nations students with post-secondary education costs this year.

The additional $5,000 scholarship is made in memory of Joan Glode. Joan was a fierce advocate for First Nations children. We are especially inspired by her longstanding advocacy for Jordan's Principle and ensuring that First Nations children have opportunities to grow up at home.
