Musqueam-YVR Scholarship

The agreement creates an education-to-employment path between YVR and Musqueam. This includes unique scholarship opportunities as well as an apprenticeship program, which is currently under development.

Musqueam-Vancouver Airport Authority Scholarship 

As part of the Musqueam Indian Band - YVR Airport Sustainability and Friendship Agreement, Vancouver Airport Authority provides annual merit-based scholarships to eligible Musqueam Members to study at an accredited post-secondary institution. The awards celebrate diversity and recognize various pathways to achievement including, but not limited to, engagement in the arts, academics, sustainability, leadership, aviation, and/or their community.

Eligibility / Level of Study / Value / Duration:

The Airport Authority Scholarships are available to outstanding Musqueam Indian Band Members. Recipients will be selected based on their ability to demonstrate their openness to continuing to learn who they are, where they come from, their responsibility in carrying forward knowledge in their community, and a commitment to a sustainable future.

Scholarships are available to students entering post baccalaureate programs and other undergraduate programs that are not direct entry from high school. The annual value for full-time students is up to $7500, split over two semestral payments of up to $3750 each. The annual value for part-time students is up to $2500, split over two semestral payments of up to $1250 each.

This new amendment to the scholarship payment, allows students to apply for the scholarship for a single semester, rather than a full academic year, which may not apply to everyone.
