Eligibility:

Open to students entering and/or continuing a graduate degree program at the University of Saskatchewan. The criteria are as follows:

  • The student must be Métis and/or Non-Status Indian
  • They must have completed their undergraduate degree from the University of Saskatchewan or any other university, with a major in Indigenous Studies or related field.
  • They must have attained a minimum grade point average of 70% in the last regular session, as determined by the Award Committee.

Donor: Dr. Howard Adams (1921-2001) was born and raised in St. Louis, SK. A Metis scholar and a political activist, he donated this award to support Metis and Non-Status Indian graduate students. He wanted only to be remembered as a person who worked uncompromisingly to get his people a fairer deal.
