The Aiitsi’Poyoip (Blackfoot Speaking) Award of $1,000 is given to students of Blackfoot descent who are actively participating in the preservation and revitalization of Blackfoot culture.
The application period is Dec. 1, 2022 to Jan. 31, 2023.
While scholarships and awards alone may not fully fund your future at Lethbridge College, they can complement the resources that you, your family and other funding sources provide. With one online application, you can put your name in the running for all Lethbridge College awards you are eligible for. There are also some provincial awards that Indigenous students will be nominated for by the Student Awards staff at the college. Watch your college email for related (and important) information!
