About the Bursary

The Chief Roy Mussell Bursary was established in 2024 to honour the legacy of the Fraser Basin Council’s founding Vice-Chair, Chief Roy Mussell, his commitment to sustainability and his passion for supporting Indigenous youth in BC.

In this inaugural (2024 / 2025 academic) year, the Bursary Fund is offering a $1000 bursary to support completion of a course or a studies program that will help the successful applicant advance sustainability and/or reconciliation through their work, community service or community engagement projects.

The Fund was created through an initial donation from the Fraser Basin Council and additional individual donations. The Fraser Basin Council administers the Fund, with the participation and approval of the Mussell family and with support from staff of the FBC Youth Program.

Donations are warmly invited!
