Dean's Award for Indigenous Graduate Students

The Faculty of Graduate Studies' Dean's Award for Indigenous Graduate Students is an award to recognize and support academic excellence. The Office of Indigenous Academic and Community Engagement and the Faculty of Graduate Studies have collaborated in the development of these awards for Indigenous students. This award provides financial support to Canadian Aboriginal (First Nations, Métis or Inuit) students pursuing full-time graduate studies at the Master's or Doctoral level. Recipients must maintain a first-class average (7.0/A- or higher) and be registered in full-time graduate studies during the entire 12-month award term from September to August. The award is designed to support Indigenous students throughout their graduate education journey at the University of Victoria, recognizing both their academic achievements and their commitment to their studies.
