ANTIGONISH: Celebrating another milestone in the relationship between StFX University and the Sisters of St. Martha, $1 million in Indigenous scholarships were announced for StFX and Cape Breton University (CBU) from the organization.

In early October, StFX University hosted an event to celebrate the sister’s generosity by announcing a $250,000 donation to their university, and also to the neighbouring CBU in Sydney.

The Sisters of St. Martha’s donations, received matching funding at each university, brings the total amount of money for scholarships for each institution to $500,000. It will allow for the creation of two scholarships, both at StFX and CBU, one for an Indigenous student in nursing, and one for an Indigenous student in the education program.

The scholarships will be awarded to a first-year Indigenous student from one of the seven eastern First Nation communities in Nova Scotia, including Membertou, Eskasoni, Wagmatcook, We’koqma’q, Potlotek, Paqtnkek, and Pictou Landing.
