Every Gift Makes a Difference
By donating to Blue Quills First Nations College you are supporting life-changing opportunities and a rich educational experience that allows our students to pursue their passions and careers.
How your gift has an impact on the educational experience
It’s a decision that changes their future.
The decision to attend College is often a turning point in an individual’s life. For some, it is also the decision to move away from home, or start a new career, or pursue something that they have always been passionate about.
At Blue Quills First Nations College students receive not only an education; they are also exposed to new ideas, encouraged to grow personally, cultivate a greater understanding of First Nations Culture and the world. This is the true knowledge that stays with a Blue Quills student throughout their lifetime. It makes the Blue Quills First Nations College a place where two cultures are acknowledged and come together.
But students can’t undergo this transformation on their own.
Alumni, donors and friends of Blue Quills First Nations College provide the support that students need to be successful: rewarding excellence, fostering growth, and allowing the College to respond to changing needs. By making a gift to Blue Quills First Nations College, you allow our students the opportunity to experience a lifetime of success, of discovery, and learning.
At the Blue Quills First Nations College, every donor is able to provide some direction as to how their gift is designated. Our fundraising personnel are happy to help you find an area where you'd like to make a difference.
Gifts to the College may be used to:
Build a sustainability fund
Contribute to our New Campus building designed by Douglas Cardinal
Provide Scholarships and bursaries
