Applications for 2025 Malyan Michel Bursary Now Open
Nominations are now open for the 2025 Malyan Michel Bursary.
This $500.00 bursary was established in 2000 by friends and family of Malyan Michel to recognize deserving post-secondary students from the Ktunaxa Nation. Malyan was a language and culture teacher and always encouraged people to return to school and further their education while still holding onto their Ktunaxa heritage.
To be eligible, candidates must:
- be of Ktunaxa ancestry
- be an existing post-secondary student returning to studies in September 2025
- be an adult 19 years of age or older beginning or returning to studies in September 2025
- show an active interest in their Ktunaxa language and culture
The deadline to apply is July 11, 2025. The application form (found here) can be sent to gregncindy88@gmail.com. The bursary will be awarded on July 16, 2025.
This bursary has been awarded to 40 Ktunaxa Nation students totaling $20,000. The funds for these bursaries are raised every year through 50/50 draws, as well as donations from our generous supporters. We would like to thank everyone for their continued support over the years.
