Background:
Since 1988/1989 the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) has sponsored the Heros of OUr Time scholarships to recognize the hard work, dedication and academic achievements of Aboriginal post-secondary education students who demonstrate excellence in their educational development. The scholarships are now divided into EIGHT categories that represent eight First Nation heroes and academic disciplines, each with a value of $2,000.
The Heros of Our Time scholarships provide an excellent opportunity for the AFN to acknowledge and celebrate the success of Aboriginal students in achieving their educational goals. It gives us great satisfaction to know that we are helping those who hold the future of First Nations in their hands.
