Pomerleau Renewable Scholarship for an Abegweit First Nation Indigenous Student

Granted to an Abegweit 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, a Lennox Island 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. Established by Pomerleau, a Canadian leader in the construction industry, in November 2023 to support Indigenous students at UPEI.
