First Nations Education Initiative Inc. in New Brunswick has launched a new interactive website that will help First Nations students make informed PSE decisions. The site, PSE Helper (http://www.psehelper.ca/) , includes information about accessing scholarships and bursaries, monitors and reports on student and career events going on around the province, helps students and graduates find work in their field of study, and connects students with community elders. “The website was designed specifically for New Brunswick Mi’kmaq and Maliseet students, but we hope this format and service can be adapted to other First Nations communities and cultures across Canada,” says Bob Atwin, Executive Director of First Nations Education Initiative Inc. The NB government provided $45,000 in funding for the site.
