For the fourth year in a row, Library and Archives Canada (LAC) will provide financial aid to Indigenous peoples (First Nations, Inuit and Métis Nation), persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities through the Price McIntosh Bursary, to encourage them to enrol or pursue studies in fields related to libraries and archives. This initiative supports LAC's efforts to promote the inclusion and diversity of perspectives, interpretations and experiences within the documentary heritage professions, to enrich our collective history and uncover the many stories it contains.
The call for applications for the Price McIntosh Bursary is now open. For the 2024-2025 academic year, eligible students are encouraged to submit their application by September 20, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Daylight Time).
This bursary is for students enrolled in an eligible Canadian college or university program. It provides $5,000 for full-time students and $2,500 for part-time students.
Visit the Price McIntosh Bursary page for full details, including eligibility criteria, the application form and assistance in completing an application.
