Qalipu First Nation has collaborated with FactR Limited (https://www.factr.me/) to establish a scholarship for students pursuing post-secondary studies in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). This scholarship will be awarded to two member students, each valued at $500.
In addition to the scholarship, the recipients will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in AI/ML software solutions development and delivery through a potential work placement at FactR.
Applications for this scholarship is open to Qalipu First Nation high school students that have been accepted into a STEM program at a recognized post-secondary institution. Preference will be given to students accepted into IT and Software Engineering programs.
The deadline for applications is May 30th, 2025. Scholarships will be awarded by a selection committee, considering the merit of each application taking into consideration grades, career goals and volunteer activities.
Qalipu First Nation would like to send a sincere thank you to the team at FactR Limited for their generous support of this scholarship. Thank you for making a difference to the lives and the future of our Indigenous students.
