YukonU receives $1M donation from Joyce Family Foundation

Yukon University has announced that it has received a $1M donation from the Joyce Family Foundation that will support students who are facing financial barriers to education. The funds will support two renewable, annual bursaries for students in the University Access Pathways program and will support a permanent peer mentorship program. The program will hire a student coordinator and two mentors who will provide support to bursary recipients and mentorship to other students. “This generous $1 million endowment, and the bursaries and peer mentorship program it supports, will be a huge boost to the success of students entering University Access Pathways,” said YukonU President Dr Lesley Brown. “It will provide certainty and holistic support to empower students to reach their education goals.” YukonU Note: Archived stories may contain dead links or be missing source links.
