Donors & Sponsors
Information for Donors and Sponsors
When you contribute to the 香蕉视频 Foundation, you鈥檙e opening doors for students, many of whom couldn鈥檛 go to college without your support. The generosity of our donors and sponsors makes a big difference to our students.
All funds raised or donated by donors for scholarships go directly to learners, with 100% direct donor ratios of funds for students. This means that the College covers all other costs involved in processing, staffing, or running the department.
To offset the costs of events or projects, we seek donors or sponsors who share our values and can help support our students and initiatives.
Approximately one third of the College鈥檚 funds comes from taxpayers, and the rest are monies that the College generates. For that reason, we are always seeking new ways to ensure our sustainability so that we can provide post-secondary education to the North from the North.
Make A Difference For Our Students
When you give to scholarships and bursaries, you鈥檙e opening doors for students, many of whom couldn鈥檛 go to college without your support.
A growing number of students today do not have the resources to study at college. Some apply for government assistance (OSAP) that can cover some of their costs if they qualify for them, others get some assistance from their family and/or band, but not all expenses are usually covered.
Studying at the post-secondary level changes lives and chances for success. Your tax-deductible gifts of money to support awards means you鈥檙e helping learners realize their dreams.
For students receiving performance鈥恇ased bursaries, it is a much welcomed and public recognition of their hard work and abilities culminating in academic achievement.
For those receiving leadership-based bursaries, it鈥檚 recognition of their extra contribution to making a richer student experience, and fuller campus and community life.
For students who have received bursaries based on need, our student life advisors and financial aid officers attest to the very real need in our student community.
When you give to Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards at Northern, you make such a positive impact on the future of learners who want a better life for themselves and their families.
Thank you to the donors that make success for students happen.
Why Our Donors Give
“At the age of 19, I went to the Canada-wide United Nations Conference in New York.聽 The attendees were from diverse backgrounds and travelled together, ate, and talked together. 聽We learned that although we had differences, we were still the same young Canadians wanting to learn more and make our way in life.
Within the U.N., I sat with delegates from almost every nation and learned about the equality of people. As the English and French-Canadian diplomats spoke, I learned that there was a lot that I didn鈥檛 know about. I decided I wanted to learn more.
There was no money in my family for university. I learned about government grants and loans and resolved to go to university. I became a teacher and loved teaching and my students. I became a lifelong learner, challenging my students to do their best! That鈥檚 why I chose to support the Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards (SBA) program at 香蕉视频 and have done so for well over a decade. I want students to have a great education, at a great school with the ability to chase their dreams.
I expect the award winners to see themselves as bigger individuals, capable of doing more for our society and becoming our future leaders. It makes me so proud to see the graduating firefighter, who may someday save someone, or to know that the nursing graduate will perhaps take care of you and me. My name is Sharon and if you say my name very slowly, you will know why I love to do this work 鈥� I hope that we 鈥渟hare on鈥�. Each of us is given jobs to do on earth. This is one of mine!鈥�

“As Chapter Chair of OACETT’s Timmins Regional Chapter, I have assisted in raising funds for both Engineering Endowment Funds at Northern. Being a 香蕉视频 Graduate (1981) has helped me tremendously to find rewarding work and pursue worthwhile activities and initiatives.
A quality education is very important in everyone’s life and leads to better career prospects. Deserving students should be encouraged (and rewarded) to succeed, especially the future problem-solvers.
I hope that numerous graduating students from various engineering disciplines will join OACETT at some point and pay it forward, keeping our Association active and engaged. By donating to the Fletcher Foundation, your contribution is matched proportionately and your Federal Government gives you a break at tax time.
A great deal indeed.”
