Brock University is increasing its overall Scholarship & Award opportunities for First Nations students who do not have access to funding through their Band Council. Brock is excited to offer the new Chancellor’s First Nations Award annually to one student coming directly from high school, who is First Nations and has a high level of academic standing.
Brock University is a public research university in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. It is the only university in Canada in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, at the centre of Canada\'s Niagara Peninsula on the Niagara Escarpment. The university bears the name of Maj.-General Sir Isaac Brock, who was responsible for defending Upper Canada against the United States during the War of 1812.
This renewable award will be made annually to one entering First Nations undergraduate student at Brock University based on the recommendation of their Secondary School Indigenous Lead/Counsellor in any area of study. Recipients of this award will be encouraged to apply for and accept other funding such as Indspire Awards, Brock-funded awards and OSAP non-repayable grants. This award will pay for tuition including ancillary and material fees for 4 years or 20 credits/attempted credits, whichever comes first, a single residence room and standard meal plan during the Fall and Winter terms for up to 4 years or 20 credits/attempted credits, whichever comes first and textbooks for required courses purchased at the Brock Campus Store through the textbook billing program.
Recipients must maintain an academic average of 70% to renew the award.
