Coast Mountain College working in tandem with the Coast Mountain College Foundation, has announced a funding program towards Student Emergency Bursaries, with the college making 40,000 dollars available for students as a response to the COVID-19 situation.
The funding program was announced in a statement today and will see $20,000 of the available money come through the Employee Giving Program, along with donations from community members across the Northwest.
“We are very grateful for the donations received from community members and our many employees. It now enables us to provide emergency and immediate financial relief to our students as they work to complete this semester of study.” -- Brian Badge, Executive Director of College Advancement and CMTN Foundation CAO.
The Coast Mountain College Foundation is also dedicating $20,000 to the Student Emergency Bursary program.
The funding will be delivered to students by way of the distribution of gift cards valued at $250 each for grocery stores located in Terrace, Prince Rupert or Smithers.
The cards will be made available to those students who apply and can demonstrate a financial need.
The program is available to both local and international students and the details towards how it all works and what the eligibility criteria is can be reviewed here.
