The University of Saskatchewan has announced the creation of a new bursary for students who were in the child welfare system. The Saskatchewan Youth From Care bursary will fully cover the costs for up to five students per year, including tuition, books, housing, meals, and a laptop. The bursary is the brainchild of former uSask Students’ Union president and Rethinking Higher Ed contributor Max FineDay, and stems from his commitment to bringing diverse voices into higher ed. “These are unique voices, folks who have unique experiences who can do a lot of good and contribute to our society and our university,” he said.
