Simon Silliboy, Eskasoni is the proud recipient of not one, not two, but three UINR schlorships this year! Every year UINR teams up with partners Georgia Pacific and NewPage to offer schlorsips to Mi’kmaq students in Unama’ki.

Simon just graduated from Cape Breton University with his Bachelor of Science degree in biology. He is now planning to return this fall to CBU to take an Education degree so that he will be able to teach science in the future. Best of luck Simon!
