Eighty students from the Qikiqtani region will enjoy an easier academic year in 2018-19.
That’s due to 80 $2,500 scholarships, announced last week by the Qikiqtani Inuit Association, for Inuit post-secondary students enrolled in the 2018-19 academic year.
“An investment in education is an investment in our future,” said QIA President P.J. Akeeagok in a news release.
“These post-secondary scholarships give Inuit a little help so they can focus on their studies, pursue their goals and achieve their dreams.”
This is the second year that QIA has offered $200,000 in new scholarships.
