“I greatly appreciate USF bursary and the huge help that it will be. This scholarship takes a bit of pressure off and eases the overwhelming burden of the cost of post-secondary.

I look forward to beginning my studies at the University of Victoria starting in September. I plan to get a degree in Indigenous studies, and then get a teaching degree. I really hope to be a positive role model for my future students, particularly the Aboriginal students that I may teach.

Again I would like to thank you and the Urban Spirit Foundation for this bursary and your assistance in my pursuit for a post-secondary degree. I appreciate it so much!”
