The Jim Bourque Scholarship honours the legacy of the late Hon. James W. Bourque, PC. Born in Wandering River, Alberta, Bourque was of Cree and Metis background. Applicants must be enrolled in post-secondary training in Education, Environmental Studies, Indigenous Knowledge or Telecommunications. They must also be a Canadian Indigenous student. Applicants must submit a Cover Letter, which also includes an email address where the applicant can be contacted; and transcripts (most recent from college/university or high school). A signed letter of recommendation from a community leader (e.g., Town or Band Council, Chamber of Commerce, Metis Local, etc.) is also required. A statement of financial need which indicates funding already received or expected must also be submitted. The supporting documentation must be submitted as individual attachments, not a zipped file. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Arctic Institute of North America for more information.
