INDIGENOUS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM NOW OPEN Starting today, we’re accepting applications for our Indigenous Scholarship program. This year, a total of nine $1,500 awards are available—six for mature students and three for students who’ve recently completed high school and are entering their first year of post-secondary study. Our scholarships for Indigenous students work to address the education inequity faced by Indigenous peoples in Alberta by reducing financial barriers and making post-secondary studies more financially accessible. The awards are based on scholastic achievement, financial need and community involvement. Recipients are selected by an external committee with expertise in academia and Indigenous education. The deadline to apply is January 16, 2023. We encourage you to share information about the Indigenous scholarship program with your networks and anyone you think could benefit from this support. Learn more about the program on our website and hear from past recipients like two of our 2022 Indigenous scholarship recipients Luke Klug and Taylor Sample.
Luke has big plans to open up his own physical therapy clinic after graduating to help others overcome injuries and relieve pain—watch the video our Community Impact team created!
Taylor became inspired to build a career helping children after working as an educational assistant at a preschool—read about her journey and focus on wellness on our blog.
