For the past 7 years JEDI and Brun-Way Highway Operations have collaborated to provide two bursaries for Aboriginal students enrolled in post-secondary education. The bursaries are intended to help support Aboriginal students in reaching their academic goals and future success.

To be eligible:

• You must be a full-time Aboriginal student,
• Reside in New Brunswick,
• Provide proof of post-secondary institution enrollment - preference may be given to those enrolled in a University Degree program due to the depth of commitment and expense involved,
• Provide a copy of an up-to-date resume,
• Applicants must write a 500-1000 word essay that expresses:
• financial need,
• objectives,
• future goals and aspirations,
• commitment to education,
• volunteer experience,
• desire to help NB First Nations’ communities thrive.

Application forms are available at:
