Congratulations to Logan Burd, who on May 28, 2021 was announced as the selected recipient of a $5,000 educational bursary under the Hauer and Co Indigenous Bursary Program.

Logan Burd is a Métis person from Kelowna, BC and will begin a Master’s Program in Public Health at Simon Fraser University in September, 2021.

I am very honoured and thankful to Mr. Hauer and the team at Hauer and Co. for choosing me as the 2021 Indigenous Bursary recipient. I am a founding member of the Métis Youth Mental Health and Wellness Initiative through Métis Nation BC, and I am very proud to be a Métis Citizen. I am from Kelowna, BC, and will be attending Simon Fraser University in September to begin my Master’s in Public Health. I plan to pursue a career in public health to provide support, preventative measures, and holistic healing options for Indigenous women and children who have experienced sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, or human trafficking in Canada. This bursary will assist me greatly in continuing my education and career goals to help Indigenous people and communities.

We wish to congratulate Chantal Serwatkewich, who on April 17, 2020 was announced as the selected recipient of a $5,000 educational bursary under the Hauer and Co Indigenous Bursary Program.

Chantal Serwatkewich is a Métis person currently in her third year of Medical School at the University of Calgary. She is from Fernie, BC and belongs to the Métis Nation BC.

My Métis community is important to me; I currently manage the social media for our local Métis Association, and I am the Senior Local Officer of Indigenous Health at my school. I am very honored to have received this bursary and it will significantly help me continue my studies to eventually become a rural family physician. I am very grateful to Mr. Hauer and all the staff at Hauer and Company for this generous opportunity for Indigenous people to further their education.

About the Program

The Hauer and Company Indigenous Bursary Program provides educational bursaries to BC Indigenous Peoples on a merit-based system in order to assist students in achieving their educational dreams and reaching their career aspirations thereby improving the social and economic well-being of BC Indigenous Peoples.

Today, there are approximately 200,000 Indigenous people in British Columbia. They include First Nations, Inuit and Métis. There are 198 distinct First Nations in B.C., each with their own unique traditions and history. Many are unable to attend a post-secondary institution due to lack of financial resources.

At Hauer and Co. we understand that receiving an education is an expensive undertaking, especially for Indigenous Persons who may not have the financial support.

Hauer and Co. seeks to empower Indigenous Peoples by offering annual educational bursaries in the amount of $5,000 each. These are non-repayable funds.

If you are an Indigenous student or aspiring student and in need of financial assistance, we encourage you to apply by accessing the application form by clicking the link below.
