She Connects

 

Hello,

My name is Frankie Leonard, and I am currently a mentor with the She Connects initiative. She Connects is a new startup founded in January 2020 by 4 former Daughters of the Vote Delegates. They were given a small leadership grant from the program to start a community-based project. 

The organization aims to facilitate mentorship between girls in high school and women who have recently graduated/are in their 20s. Each mentee will be matched with a mentor who is there to help guide them through the transition out of high school. Areas of guidance can include questions about the university, gap years, the workforce, mental health, womanhood, and leadership. 

I graduated from Mealy Mountain Collegiate in 2016 and mentorship it is something I wish I had more access to in high school. I completed a Bachelor of Science from Memorial University and am currently a first-year law student at the Schulich School of Law. I signed up to be a mentor with She Connects after attending Daughters of the Vote and seeing this great initiative come to life from fellow participants. I hope to encourage other young women to strive for success after high school. 

I am reaching out in hopes that you will consider promoting this program to your grade 10-12 female students. We are accepting mentee applications for the 2021-2022 school year. More information and the application can be found on our website https://www.sheconnects.ca/

If you have any additional questions, please contact me or email info@sheconnects.ca

Additional resources for teachers can also be found at https://www.sheconnects.ca/teachers-resources 

I have attached a poster that can be displayed online or around the school below. 

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Best,

Frankie Leonard

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.

My Blueprint Scholarship Opportunities! $150,000 designed to support students who have financial need.

Remember that surprise we let you in on back in January?

The one that resulted in $30,000 in scholarships for your students?

Well, we’ve got another one. This time it’s even bigger.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with the Canadian Scholarship Trust Foundation (CSTF) to give away $150,000 in bursaries.

You read that right.

$150,000 going straight to your students to help them realize their dreams of going to post-secondary.

This one’s a little different though.

“While Canada is among one of the most educated countries in the world, this is not true for everyone. Equitable access to PSE is an ongoing challenge, and especially so for those from low-income families.” (CSTF)

That’s where CSTF comes in. They’re focused on supporting access to post-secondary studies for those who believe in the power of education but are struggling to access it.

So, these bursaries are designed specifically to support your students who have financial need.

Here's what you need to know:

• There are 25 bursaries, each valued at $6,000
• The bursaries are based on financial need
• CSTF is specifically looking for students who demonstrate strong character: resiliency, community-mindedness and commitment to excellence
• Your students can access the application form within their myBlueprint account (in the Scholarships tab)
• The deadline to apply is May 7, 2021

We’ve included all the information you need to know and answers to your questions here.

With just one month to apply, you’ll want to share this announcement with your network today.
