Praise for the NITC

Commendations are few and far between, so I would like to bring attention to the Nunavut Implementation Training Committee’s post-secondary scholarship program.

For the 2002-03 school year, improvements were made to an otherwise onerous application process. The system is more flexible and less an exercise in bureaucratic pain for administrators and students alike.

Deadlines for supporting documentation are consistent with when universities, and students, can provide such material. Education is the future of Nunavut – it is important for students to feel connected to and supported from home.
