Scholarship

The Aboriginal Financial Officers Association of Canada (AFOA) is dedicated to helping Aboriginals reach the highest standard of excellence in finance and management. AFOA's initiatives in the development of Awards and Scholarships are examples of that commitment. Each year a ceremony is held in conjunction with the AFOA Canada National Conference where the following awards and scholarship are presented.

"AFOA is pleased to introduce the Aboriginal Fellowship Program (AFP). The purpose of the program is to transfer vital financial management knowledge to Aboriginals and ultimately develop needed capacity in Aboriginal Communities."

Created in 2011, the Aboriginal Scholarship offers a $1500 entrance scholarship to a graduating Aboriginal high school student. (Students electing a one year gap will be considered)

At Nova Scotia Power, we’re proud to foster education, diversity and inclusion to help empower students to follow their dreams. Providing opportunities to learn and grow is essential for creating a workforce that will help build strong, healthy and successful communities of tomorrow. Please check back at the start of each year for our new scholarship opportunities.

"The National Indigenous Economic Education Foundation (NIEEF) provides scholarships, training and research funding for students involved in Aboriginal community economic development."

Private training schools - sometimes called "career colleges" - offer post-secondary vocational training which is meant to prepare a person for employment in an occupational field. Examples: accounting and business, office administration, truck-driving, hairdressing and aesthetics, flying, computer technology, counselling, nursing-home and personal care, heavy-equipment operation, travel and tourism, call-centre service, classroom teaching assistance, etc.

Students must submit complete full-time applications 6 weeks prior to the study end date to receive financial assistance.

The New Brunswick Post-Secondary Opportunities Fund was established to match monies institutions raise for need-based bursaries. The $1M per year provincial contribution is used to encourage donations from the private sector to create endowment funds to provide scholarships and bursaries for New Brunswick students in financial need who attend public universities and community colleges in New Brunswick. With donations of $2M from the private sector this means a potential of $3M will be added each year to the endowment funds.

Applications for the 2019 scholarships will be available this fall.

Up to ten NLCA Scholarships, each valued at $1000, will be awarded this year to the dependents of owners and employees of member firms in good standing. As well as, the Lar Rossiter Memorial Scholarship Award – one scholarship valued at $2000.

The deadline for applications will be in November.
