Nanwakolas Council donation helps NIC First Nations students

First Nations students at North Island College will have more financial support available to them as they continue their studies.

The Nanwakolas Council has donated over $10,000 to the college to support First Nations studies.

VP of Strategic Initiatives Randall Heidt says this money is key to providing students more access to a better education.

“It’s just a great feeling anytime that you can help a student out and help them access education. Education changes lives – it allows people to follow their career and lifelong dream.”

Over the last four years, over $33,000 have been raised to support First Nations post-secondary studies at NIC.
