SFU students are receiving some welcome financial assistance from two organizations on campus.
CUPE Local 3338, in honour of the 30th anniversary of unionization at SFU, has announced a generous bursary program that will provide four $500 awards annually to deserving students in the labour studies program.
Sodexho, the firm that runs SFU custodial services, recently renewed its contract for a three-year term and announced a $10,000 annual gift towards student awards. $5,000 will fund an annual graduate fellowship for First Nations students and the remaining $5,000 will fund annual bursaries for students in the social sciences and humanities faculty. Sodexho, which is involved with the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business, is committed to helping SFU attract more First Nations students to higher education.
