Eligibility
About this scholarship
Students in the UBC Faculty of Forestry on the Vancouver campus may be considered. Preference is given to undergraduate First Nations, Inuit, or Métis students of Canada in good academic standing with demonstrated financial need. If there are no eligible Indigenous undergraduates in a given year, awards may go to First Nations, Inuit, or Métis graduate students of Canada or to Faculty students with a demonstrated interest in Indigenous studies.
Awards totalling $25,200 have been made available through an endowment established by Peter H. Pearse; individual amounts vary. Indigenous recipients may hold the award for up to four years while remaining in good academic standing, or until their first undergraduate degree is obtained.
There is no separate student application; awards are made on the recommendation of the Faculty of Forestry, in consultation with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for graduate students.
Dr. Pearse, a 1956 Forestry graduate and Order of Canada recipient who returned to UBC as a professor, established this award to give others the opportunities he had through access to a world-class education.
