Margaret Arquette | Early Childhood Education
"I would like to take this opportunity for not only for giving me this grant, but to also thank you for your consideration as well. This really means a lot to me especially during this hard time we all are having with the pandemic.
I am currently enrolled through St. Lawrence College taking Early Childhood Education. We just got through our first year and will be graduating in May 2022.
After I get my diploma, I will be looking forward to getting hired full time in the field. I have a strong desire to being an assistance to watching and helping young children grow and learn. I do not currently have any children of my own, so I am devoting all my time into college and afterwards full-time work.
These extra funds will alllow me mode of transportation not only to school, but work or any training as well. I'd like to thank you once again, and in my case, this will secure any and all transportation issues I was having for the upcoming semester."

I am currently enrolled in the 2020-2021 school year for Early Childhood Education Course at Iohahi:io's Post-Secondary School on my reservation, Akwesasne. I'm overjoyed and excited to show my accomplishments in the next coming years. The support is gonna help me greatly. It will help me accomplish my goals and dreams and help make everything a littles less stressful on me and my family.
Nia:wen (Thank You)"
