CPA’s Indigenous Student Award: Scholarship in Psychology

The purpose of this program is to encourage and support Indigenous (Inuit, First Nations, or Métis) students in psychology in Canadian universities. This is an academic merit-based award that also takes into consideration life factors such as motivation to excel in the field of psychology and level of need in overcoming barriers to attending university.

Application requirements include official transcript, CV or resume, personal statement, and one letter of support.

This year, the CPA welcome applications for one (1) graduate scholarship. Eligible students must be:

  1. Indigenous;
  2. a CPA student affiliate in good standing at time of application, and if successful for the duration of the scholarship length; and
  3. entering graduate studies or be a current graduate student at a Canadian university.

Value of the scholarship is $4000.00 per year, renewable for up to five additional years.

Deadline for applications is May 10th, 2025.
