The CFUW-Ottawa Savanna Pikuyak Memorial Bursary

The CFUW-Ottawa Savanna Pikuyak Memorial Bursary awards $5,000 each year to Indigenous student who identifies as a woman and is enrolled in Practical Nursing, Pre-Health Sciences, or the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Honours). The bursary’s main goal is to financially support Indigenous students so they can overcome financial barriers and find safe housing in Ottawa. First preference will be given to students who, like Savanna, come from northern communities in Canada.

Pamela Moss, Chair of the Scholarship Trust Fund at CFUW-Ottawa, wants Savanna’s family and community to know that the over 500 women who belong to this club care about Inuit women in Ottawa. “By founding this bursary,” she said, “we hope more Indigenous women, especially those from northern communities, will feel encouraged to come to Algonquin College and follow in Savanna’s footsteps with hope for their future.”

Your donations to the CFUW-Ottawa Savanna Pikuyak Memorial Bursary will help ensure the bursary will continue to support current and future students.
