The Courage (Alex Missewace) Bursary

PROGRAM DEADLINE: April 15, 2024 at 11:59 PM CDT (Midnight)

Description

In 2022, The Courage (Alex Missewace) Bursary was created and funded by the staff of Matawa Education Department as a gift to the Executive Director of Education, Sharon Nate. The donation was made to show sincere appreciation for Ms. Nate's endless dedication and leadership to Matawa Education, students, and the Matawa First Nations. More importantly, the donation was to signify a community of courage as Ms. Nate's brother, Alex Missewace, fought cancer.

The Matawa Education staff wanted the bursary to be awarded to a student who demonstrates courage, strength, and perseverance during trying times, as Alex continued to do every day.

In 2023, Alex began his journey into the Spirit World with courage, he was celebrated and supported through the love and guidance of his family, friends, and community of Eabametoong First Nation. His perseverance and strength lives on in all of the Matawa youth through the Courage Bursary.

Since 2022, several Donors have come forward wanting to support the Courage Bursary and the many youth who continue to demonstrates courage, strength, and perseverance everyday.
