We discuss the Métis Scholar Awards with two award recipients from Portage College.

Guests:

• Kaylee Weigelt - Aboriginal Art Certificate student
• Alanna Erasmus - University Transfer Program student

The Métis Scholar Awards program is funded through endowment agreements negotiated at 17 post-secondary institutions across Alberta through the Métis Education Foundation and Rupertsland Institute.

RLI and the Métis Education Foundation also now offer two newly established internal Métis Scholar Awards to recognize Métis students at non-partner institutions. The first MEF endowment provides financial assistance and encourages achievement of Métis applicants in academic, artistic and athletic excellence. The second endowment provides financial assistance to Métis citizens entering Early Learning and Child Care studies at provincial post-secondary institutions.
