The RTJSIS mission is to positively influence Aboriginal high school graduation rates through mentoring and financial support as needed. The program is designed to encourage ‘at risk’ students to continue with their education and targets two high-needs areas in Calgary. Financial assistance is provided to selected Aboriginal students as a kick-start toward high school graduation. RTJSIS allocates up to $1500 per year for each student and provides this support from Grades 6 -12.
