Established in October 2008, the Howling Coyote Education Fund was created to support Indigenous youth in School District No. 73 (Kamloops/Thompson) as they pursue post-secondary education and develop their skills for future success.
This fund was founded through the collaboration of School District 73, BC Interior Community Foundation (formerly Kamloops Foundation), Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc, and dedicated community members. Annual fundraising events continue to strengthen the fund, allowing it to grow each year. As the fund expands, more student awards become available, providing greater opportunities for Indigenous students to achieve their educational goals.
The application form for this award is located on the School District 73 website. Click on the link below and scroll down to the Aboriginal Scholarships and Bursaries section. Click here to download the application form.
Applications are submitted to the Indigenous Education Council.
NorKam graduate and now University of Toronto student Dakoda Kelm received several scholarships in 2024, including the Howling Coyote Education Fund Award.
Dakoda shared, “These scholarships gave me the extra boost I needed to cover the added expenses of going out of province. They allowed me to choose the program I wanted and fully pursue my academic goals.“
