Vitaly Pecherskiy Entrance Award for Black and Indigenous Students

One award valued at $20,000, or two awards valued at $10,000 each, will be provided to Black and/or Indigenous undergraduate students entering Year One of Computer, Management, Mechatronics, Software or Systems Design Engineering. For the purpose of this scholarship, an Indigenous person is one who is a citizen or member of a First Nations community (Status/Non-Status), Métis, and/or Inuit. Selection will be based on a combination of academic achievement, the Admission Information Form (AIF), the online video interview, as well as an application statement wherein students are asked to describe the impact this award will have on their pursuit of postsecondary studies. Interested students should submit an online application by April 15. This award is made possible by a donation from Vitaly Pecherskiy to increase accessibility to education and create opportunities for underrepresented groups.
