Time is running out to apply for the Belcourt Brosseau Métis Award. The annual scholarship supports Métis Albertans with up to $10,000 each year for post-secondary education and skills development. 

This award is valued between $1,000 and $10,000 and is intended to cover a portion of education-related costs such as tuition and fees. 

The scholarship is open to Alberta Métis citizens, and priority is given to students entering their first year of post-secondary education. Students must show financial need and have a connection to the Métis community. 

The Belcourt Brosseau Métis Award was established in 2001 by the directors of the Canative Housing Corporation, Orval Belcourt, Dr. Herb Belcourt, and Georges Brosseau QC. Their vision was to help Métis Albertans realize self-sufficiency through post-secondary education and skills development.

Since 2001, the Belcourt Brosseau Métis Awards have provided more than $7.9 million in over 2,000 awards to more than 1,300 Métis Albertans studying at institutions across Alberta. These awards are the largest non-governmental source of student funding for Métis students in Canada.

The deadline to apply is March 31, 2021. An email will be sent to selected recipients in July. For more information on the Belcourt Brosseau Métis Award and to apply, click here. For a list of other scholarships, bursaries, and awards check-out our website.
