Cathy Sewell Indigenous Scholars Award

The Cathy Sewell Indigenous Scholars Award is provided to undergraduate students who are First Nation, Inuit, or Métis people of Canada in accordance with the Constitution Act, 1982, Part 2, Section 35(2) with satisfactory academic standing. The award recognizes students based on academic standing, family commitment, and community involvement. Special consideration is given to activities that foster the revitalization of Indigenous Arts, Indigenous languages, and Indigenous cultural traditions. This endowed award was established by friends and family of Cathy Sewell to honour her living memory and her pursuit of the Aboriginal Indigenous perspective in all fields of study at the University of Alberta.
