SCHOLARSHIPS | PERSEVERANCE AND INVOLVEMENT

The Fondation UQAT is proud to offer two types of scholarships to support and recognize students.

Student Involvement Scholarships aim to recognize and encourage students who distinguish themselves through their commitment, both within the community and in university life. These scholarships reward the efforts of those who dedicate their time and energy to projects, initiatives, or activities that have a positive impact on their community and on campus.

Fondation UQAT’s Hecla Quebec Academic Perseverance Scholarship recognizes the determination of students who pursue their university studies while facing significant life challenges. These challenges may vary and include returning to school, balancing studies and family responsibilities, financial hardship, and more.
