University of Victoria
Award
$5,000
Due Date !
February 15 - April 30

Two awards payable at $5,000 per year to a maximum of $35,000, are given to Canadian-born Indigenous part-time (registered in a minimum of 6.0 graded units in two terms of study) entering, transferring, or continuing undergraduate students with preference for students with demonstrated financial need. Applicants must submit a letter (maximum 400 words) reflecting on how they see post-secondary education empowering them to help their community and others. Approval of the recipients will be made by the Senate Committee on Awards upon the recommendation of the Office of Indigenous Academic and Community Engagement (IACE). To be automatically renewed a student must have completed a minimum of 6.0 or more graded units in any two terms of study between May and April and maintained a GPA of 5.0/9.0 or higher. The award is automatically renewed for each year of the student's study until completion of a first undergraduate degree or for a maximum of six years, whichever is the shorter period. Students registered in a co-op or work experience work term will automatically be renewed when they next complete a minimum of 6.0 or more graded units in two terms, provided they have maintained a GPA of a minimum of 5.0/9.0. Any student who takes neither a co-op, work experience work term, nor academic units for more than one term may forfeit renewal of their award.
