Indigenous Bursary Program
The Indigenous Committee of the Rotary Club of Oakville Trafalgar, in cooperation with the Rotary Club of Oakville, provides the Rotary Indigenous Bursary Fund to support up to three indigenous students per year studying full-time at Laurentian University. Current funding provides support for each student for up to three years covering second to fourth years. Laurentian University provides recommendations for selection based on merit, financial need and input from band councils and professors. Students must maintain good academic standing. Typically, the selected students are mature females with children, working towards nursing, teaching or social service degrees, often planning to return to their community
