(for a full-time student who has self-declared as a First Nations, Métis or Inuit person from Canada and is in the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in the first four years of any Doctoral program or the first two years of any master's program with good academic standing)

The available annual income from the fund will be used to offer one scholarship to a graduate student who: (1) is Indigenous (Status, Non-Status, Métis, Inuit); (2) is enrolled full-time in the Faculty of Graduate Studies in the first four years of any Doctoral program or the first two years of any Masters program; (3) has achieved a minimum degree grade point average of 3.0 (or equivalent) based on the last 60 credit hours of study; and (4) if he/she is a continuing student, is in good standing in his/her degree program. Preference will be given to Doctoral students. In any year that no Doctoral student meets the selection criteria set out in the preceding paragraphs, the Scholarship will then be offered to a Masters student. Recipients may hold the President’s Graduate Scholarship concurrently with any other awards, consistent with policies in the Faculty of Graduate Studies. The Scholarship may not be held with a fellowship from the Ph.D. Studies for Aboriginal Scholars (PSAS) Fund.
