Minôjitonigewin Scholarship

Awarded annually on the recommendation of the Director of the School for Studies in Art and Culture, to one or more outstanding full-time undergraduate students who are entering or proceeding from one year to another in any program of study within the School. Preference will be given to Indigenous students or if no Indigenous students are eligible in the program, then preference will be given to students whose studies focus on Indigenous arts and culture. “Minôjitonigewin” (Min-O-jiton-eh-geh-win) is an expression or explanation for someone doing something skillfully and with good intent, it can be used in crafting, writing and painting – meaning someone has honed a skill. This scholarship will allow students to hone their own skills as they explore their passion for Indigenous arts and culture. Endowed in 2017. Revised 2024.
