This Bursary Program was started to give 2-Spirit Community Members access to low-barrier bursaries. The funds are to be self-determined for whatever needs the members have and however they prioritize the spending of funds, as well will require little or no reporting back. It is also a way for those who can give funds, a space to demonstrate their own philanthropy in hopes to inspire others to do the same. Take what you need, give what you can.
There are 16 available bursaries totaling $17,000.00
Sponsors agree to fully pay the bursary or scholarship amount by the agreed-upon date each year they commit to sponsoring. Recipients will receive their awards during a special event announced annuallyβthis year, it will be at our AGM. Eligibility criteria and expectations are outlined on each individual bursary page. A separate application form for each bursary will be available on our website from August 21, 2024, until September 16, 2024, for this bursary season.
If there is more than one eligible applicant, a random draw will be conducted by 2-Spirits management to select the recipient for each bursary. Following the "take what you need" teaching, anyone who is eligible and can benefit from the bursary is welcome to apply, including friends and family of staff (staff members themselves are not eligible).
We encourage you all to share this information with anyone you know and if you would like to know more please contact [email protected] or if you would like to participate in creating your own Bursary for 2025 please contact us as well. Please visit www.2spirits.org/2-spirit-bursary-program
