About this opportunity
Granted to a Lennox Island First Nation full-time Indigenous student who is entering any academic program at the University of Prince Edward Island. Preference will be given to students in the greatest financial need enrolled in one of UPEI's undergraduate STEM programs (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics). Should there be no qualifying candidates, an Abegweit First Nation Indigenous student will be selected using the same criteria. Pending successful completion of the first year of study, this scholarship will be renewable for each subsequent year of the student's enrolment in a STEM program for a maximum total of four years support.

Pomerleau's history is one of strong family values and a solid work ethic, infused with an entrepreneurial spirit. It is a story of growth and evolution, propelling what started as a small company from Beauce, Quebec into the coast-to-coast business it is today. In November 2023, Pomerleau generously decided to establish two renewable scholarships for UPEI Indigenous students.
