New Cree Bursary Program

NOTE: After changes to the Cree Bursary program, some of the information in this post is out of date. Please see the most up to date information at the following address: https://apatisiiwin.ca/updates-to-the-cree-bursary-program/

This program provides bursary funding to support eligible students. Its aim is to build capacity by encouraging JBNQA beneficiaries to pursue post-secondary and vocational education.

There can be many obstacles that stand between a person and their education, but finances shouldn’t be one of them. Apatisiiwin Skills Development wants to support beneficiaries by granting a bursary to students studying at the university, college or vocational level.

The Cree Bursary program will provide recipients with a $500 bursary once every fiscal year, and renewable every year until their education is complete.

Requirements:

Eligible Participants must be:

  • A JBNQA Beneficiary
  • Enrolled in a post-secondary institution in:
    • a post-secondary program, leading to an accredited degree/diploma, or
    • a vocational training program, leading to an accredited degree/diploma
  • Considered a full-time student

This bursary is to help you focus on getting the education you need. So maybe you spend it on your morning coffee, or maybe you need a new pair of headphones to let you listen to your favourite tunes while studying. It’s up to you.
