“We are very thankful for this contribution,” said Charles Pratt, President of the First Nations University of Canada. “This award will not only serve as a financial incentive for our students but will also demonstrate how learning and one’s healing journey are interrelated with a formal education.”
First Nations students enrolled full-time in a Bachelor of Science or Applied Science program will be eligible to apply. The criteria for application will be based on academic merit, combined with financial need. The first award recipient of the Adam DreamHealer Prize will be announced in Spring 2009.
