A new bursary being offered to community college students is hoping to reduce sizeable barriers to post-secondary education.
The New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) is eliminating all tuition and program fees for those who spent a year or more in foster care or group homes.
Mary Ellen Kingston-Ritchie, NBCC’s director of student development, says this is an initiative happening across the country, but it’s believed to be the first in New Brunswick.
“It’s a means of trying to focus on underrepresented groups within New Brunswick and we saw it as a good add-on to our supports and services that we have for students,” she said.
