Indigenous Graduate Scholarship
The Indigenous Graduate Student Awards are a suite of awards and bursaries established by the Yeates School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies to support Indigenous students in pursuing graduate education at Toronto Met. These awards recognize excellence and/or alleviate some of the financial burden associated with graduate education.
The expendable funds will provide up to three (3) $5,000 awards annually commencing in the 2020/2021 academic year. Funding for the award will be confirmed annually in March of each year and will be made available to eligible students in the fall. Results will be announced mid-September.
Note: the Internal Adjudication Committee is experiencing a delay in releasing the results of the competition. Results will be communicated soon.
