First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Grade 11 and Grade 12 students can apply for this year’s Verna J Kirkness Education Foundation Program Scholarship to attend a Canadian university for a week in May. Program participants will learn from university mentors and take part in STEM research! The deadline to apply is Tuesday, January 31st. Student grades are not a factor in being accepted and graduates of the VJKF program are eligible to apply for VJKF university scholarships. To apply go to www.vernajkirkness.org and the “Apply Now” tab. The application process will involve a completed parental consent form, a personal reference from a teacher, and an essay simply telling us why the student wants to attend (50-400 words). The attachments (essay, references, parental/guardian consent) are to be emailed to ProgramManager@vjkf.org or attached to the online application. Students who have questions regarding the program are encouraged to phone 587-814-0444 or email: morgan.laboucan@vjkf.org.
