Louis Riel Scholarship

The Louis Riel Scholarship is an entrance award offered to Métis students beginning their studies at the University of Saskatchewan. Established through the generosity of Mr. H.C. Paul of Headingley, Manitoba, this scholarship provides $2,000 in financial support to one incoming Métis student each year. The scholarship recognizes academic achievement among Indigenous students entering the university. Applicants must apply through the Competitive Entrance Awards application form with a deadline of March 1. This award reflects the university's commitment to supporting Indigenous students and honoring the legacy of Louis Riel, a key figure in Métis history and Canadian confederation.
