The Pacific Salmon Foundation is accepting applications until midnight September 30 2005 for the Stewardship Community Bursary Program.

Background

Joe Kambeitz, Community Advisor Fisheries and Oceans Canada, began fundraising 18 years ago for a bursary to support students in need that wanted careers supporting Pacific salmon.

• Bridging between Salmonids in the Classroom and higher education
• Assisting students in need that are committed to Pacific salmon
• Supporting volunteer community's efforts to support their student volunteers

Joe has donated carved silver bracelets, belt buckles and necklaces to the PSF dinner auctions to raise funds for this bursary.

He also assisted stewardship groups to fundraise and donate to the PSF for the bursary. Anson Frost and other benefactors have also donated to this bursary. PSF is working with you and the community to grow this endowment to increase the numbers and amounts of the bursaries over time.

Joe selected PSF as program administrator because of our shared visions and common objectives.

Bursary Applicant Criteria: Canadian citizen, full time student in good standing, in accredited program, year two, in program that will benefit Pacific salmonids, volunteer for salmonid stewardship group, demonstrate need
