About the donor
This bursary is sponsored by Co-operative Education and Work Integrated Learning (CEWIL) Canada. The bursary provides support for students from under-represented areas of the community with financial support in participating in their mandatory, unpaid, Work Integrated Learning (WIL) programs as part of their NSCC program. CEWIL hopes that by helping remove these barriers, students will be set up for success in their WIL courses and on their educational journey.
