Bursary Program...

The William R.A. Watson Bursaries

We award annual bursaries of $500 each to Grade 12 Students in memory of long term Masset resident Bill Watson who was our employee.

The bursaries are split equally between the graduating students of the two communities - students of Haida ancestry and non-Haida ancestry.
