Donor: Dr. Howard Adams (1921-2001) was born and raised in St. Louis, SK. A Metis scholar and a political activist, he donated this award to support Metis and Non-Status Indian graduate students. He wanted only to be remembered as a person who worked uncompromisingly to get his people a fairer deal.

Students are to apply to the Department directly with a letter outlining their eligibility and how their current studies contribute to Indigenous Studies. The amount of the award will be determined by the Department annually.
