Last Update: June 14, 2026
Latest change: The awards page now shows several new bursaries and awards, including Indigenous-focused and paramedic/firefighting-related opportunities.
JIBC awards list updated
The awards page now includes several new opportunities, including the Chief Rhonda Larrabee Memorial Bursary, the Dave and Mary Mitchell Bursary, the Bob and Barbara Stewart Award, the Brennan Beltrano Memorial Award, and the Jocelyn Roberts Memorial Award. Some sections also show updated application materials and offering availability, while core contact details and most funding amounts remain at one award or bursary of $1,000 annually. The new content broadens the page’s scope toward Indigenous students, primary care paramedic students, and fire fighting technologies students, and one course offering now shows the Jun 22, 2026 section as Full. The visible changes are mostly additions and program listing updates rather than a full rewrite of eligibility or funding rules.
