The Nook has provided student bursaries for a number of years now. To qualify students must be enrolled in post secondary education; have strong links with Bowen Island with an emphasis on community commitment; provide appropriate academic credentials; plan post secondary programs with the aim of advancing environmental and social sustainability.
This year the $12,000 pot was divided between six Bowen students, all graduating from high school, and moving on into tertiary education. With the high cost of college tuition fees we believe that the bursary awards will take some of the financial burden from hard pressed parents.
The Bursary Awards program is only one of several KKN programs which support Bowen Islanders on an annual basis. It is through the generous donations of our community and the dedicated work of our volunteers that have made it possible to send these young people off on the next stage of their educational journey. Well done Bowen Islanders!
Thank you for your support. We couldn’t do it without you.
