Welcome to the 1999 edition of SCHOLARSHIPS, BURSARIES AND AWARDS FOR ABORIGINAL STUDENTS. The purpose of this guide is to provide Aboriginal students with a valuable tool to further their postsecondary studies. The guide includes more than 300 awards, totalling over $1.5 million. These awards are made available by various organizations and institutions. While our goal is to make the guide as comprehensive as possible, new awards are constantly being issued and some may have been overlooked. To assist us with regular updates to this resource please submit information on new entries or others that have been omitted to: [email protected] Many new learning opportunities are emerging as we enter the new millennium, and the federal government is contributing through the creation of the Millennium Scholarship Fund. Funds are available beginning January 2000. For more information, please contact your provincial student aid or school awards office. Students should also inquire about non-Aboriginal awards through their school awards offices. This guide is also available on the following Websites: ❖ Indian and Northern Affairs Canada
