About this award

You can receive a $2,500 scholarship. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. Only 1 award is offered. This is for you if you are a Métis man or woman from Saskatchewan or Manitoba who has a strong record of academic achievement. You must apply by June 1. You will hear back by the first day of classes. Winners are chosen based on academic achievement. Selection criteria aren't published in detail — ask University of Saskatchewan (donor: Mr. H.C. Paul) how they score applications and how many people typically apply so you can judge your odds. Ask University of Saskatchewan (donor: Mr. H.C. Paul) during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with University of Saskatchewan (donor: Mr. H.C. Paul) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be a Métis man or woman from Saskatchewan or Manitoba. A preference is given to a student entering the first year of university. This award is offered annually.

Academic AchievementAvoid just listing your grades. Instead, highlight specific academic milestones or honors you earned. Mention any awards or dean's list placements in your application.
SupportAvoid submitting generic documents. Instead, ensure your proof of Métis descent is clear and officially recognized. Double-check that your documentation meets the university's standards.
StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute. Instead, prepare your Application for Continuing Scholarships early so you can gather your ancestry proof. Submit everything well before the June 1 deadline.
RealismAvoid assuming you will win because you meet the basic criteria. Instead, remember that only 1 award is offered. Focus on showing why your academic achievements stand out.
