To support the KSNC goal of encouraging Indigenous Youth interest and involvement in Lake Sturgeon Stewardship, the committee has established a scholarship program for students from each of the five participating First Nations (Fox Lake Cree Nation, Shamattawa First Nation, Tataskweyak Cree Nation, War Lake First Nation and York Factory First Nation) entering post-secondary education.  The value of the scholarship is $1000 (with one available to each community), and applications will be awarded on the basis of a written application.  Students demonstrating an understanding of the principles of stewardship, conservation and sustainability as they apply to resource use are encouraged to apply. In recognition of the pandemic, KSNC will be accepting scholarship applications on a continuous intake.

For more information, or to request printed copies of the scholarship application package, please contact us!
