Omura-Morrison Family Award for Indigenous Students

Award type: 
Awards for Indigenous students
Award description: 

One award, valued at $5,000, will be provided annually to a deserving Indigenous student entering Year One of any program within the Faculty of Mathematics (excluding Software Engineering). For the purpose of this scholarship, an Indigenous person is one who is a citizen or member of a First Nations community (Status/Non-Status), Métis, and/or Inuit. Selection is based on an application statement wherein students are asked to describe the impact this award will have on their pursuit of post-secondary studies. Interested students should submit an application by April 15. This fund was made possible by Dan Morrison (BMath’84) and Sharon Omura. Their hope is to help reduce financial stress for first-year Indigenous students, giving them a more equitable playing field.
