Supporting youth is a strong focus of our donations program. In addition to our annual Athabasca Student Dinner, support for community-led graduation activities, and our summer student program, we also provide funding each year for scholarships. In fact, there are over $100,000 in scholarships available exclusively for students from the Athabasca region! Providing these amazing opportunities is all possible due to the contributions from of our partners and the dedication from the scholarship committees.

Ya’thi Néné Land and Resource Office has offered scholarships for Athabasca students since 2017. Applications are due on July 31 each year. Qualifying students must be enrolled as full-time students and can be in any post-secondary program. $65,000 in scholarships were awarded in 2022 to recipients. Providing contributions are Cameco/ Orano, Ya’thi Néné, and Athabasca Basin Development, along with Flyer Electric supporting $5,000 towards the Denise Bougie scholarship for trades students. The Ya’thi Néné Scholarship Committee determined scholarship winners. Athabasca Basin Development is proud to support this initiative in the amount of $10,000 in 2022 and has been a sponsor for the past five years. Congratulations to this year’s recipients:
