Footsteps Forward

The YWCA Thompson Footsteps Forward Bursary aims to provide financial support to individuals who identify as a woman or girl and have a desire to advance their learning. This bursary was formerly known as the Joan Johnston Award – specific to high school students enrolled in post-secondary studies. However, in order to be inclusive of all women and girls the bursary was reviewed and changes were made to reflect the diverse needs of our community. There are 2 bursaries that can be applied for: Bursary A Furthering Education will assist with expenses for short term training or programs and Bursary B Post-Secondary Enrollment will assist with expenses related to attending a post-secondary institute.

Deadline for Bursary A Furthering Education is: None, continuous intake.

Deadline for Bursary B Post-Secondary Enrollment is: June 1st or October 1st annually.
