Post-Secondary Funding for 2021 High School Graduates -- Joyce Family Foundation Bursary Program

 Post-Secondary Funding for 2021 High School Graduates -- Joyce Family Foundation Bursary Program

Shared on behalf of CNA - Joyce Family Foundation Bursary Program- Open to all 2021 High School Graduates

 

We are writing you today to once again share some exciting news that we hope you will bring to the graduating class of 2021. We know its been a challenging year on so many fronts, and students need us now more than ever to support their continued education goals.

 

By now many of you would have received a Joyce Family Foundation Bursary post card reminding you about the 6th annual Joyce Family Foundation Bursary program offered at College of the North Atlantic (see attached).

 

Today’s message is about taking ACTION for our students.

 

This program is a once in a lifetime opportunity for students who need support, and would otherwise be very challenged to pursue a post-secondary education. Financial barriers are real for many and this bursary will cover all program costs for students for the complete duration of their 1 to 4 year program at CNA. Program costs include tuition, books, administrative fees, health and dental,  materials and supplies fees. The Joyce Family Foundation Bursaries are offered by the College of the North Atlantic and are available to eligible youth who plan on attending full-time studies at any campus of CNA beginning September 2021.

 

To date we have welcomed students from all corners of the Province. We have had graduates as cooks, engineering  technicians, business professionals and more.

 

Your involvement in sharing this opportunity with the students in your school is Critical.  Due to COVID this year, we have not been able to do our direct student outreach to the schools, so we need your help in sharing the information with students to begin the process of starting an application and providing support.

 

We have available an online tool kit at www.cna.nl.ca/awards (click the banner) housing everything you need including applications, brochures, flyers, FAQ and contact information. This information can be shared electronically and where possible printed for distribution to students.

 

When reviewing the application, you will notice the mentor requirement. It is important to note that mentor engagement is critical to ongoing success of the student and a mentor must be identified on the application. The definition of a mentor is in the information provided.

 

The deadline to apply for the Joyce Family Foundation Bursary Program is July 31, 2021 for September 2021 enrollment at CNA.
