Métis Scholar Graduate Award

Full-time continuing Métis graduate students (master's or PhD) at the University of Lethbridge who are Canadian citizens may apply. Applicants need Métis heritage, financial need, a minimum 3.0 GPA and satisfactory performance, and must not be receiving funding from Rupertsland Institute-Metis Training Employment Services. Proof of Métis ancestry is required (for example a valid Métis Nation citizenship card, a parent's, grandparent's, or sibling's card with kinship proof, or other validated genealogy linking to the Métis Homeland).

The award is $10,000, paid in a single installment on February 1. Final recipient approval comes from the Rupertsland Organization, so results may be delayed until late fall or early spring.

Apply online through the University of Lethbridge awards portal, including the graduate research or project title and proposal or intent questions.
