College of Fellows

College of Fellows Indigenous Planning Student Award

This annual award of $5,000 supports an Indigenous student (First Nation, Inuit or Metis) in their post-secondary studies at an accredited Canadian planning program, in full-time or part-time studies.

The College of Fellows represents the Fellows of the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP). Becoming a Fellow of CIP is the highest award the Institute can give to a planner. It is given only to those members who exhibit the highest professional accomplishments and exhibit a wide breadth of experience in a Canadian or international planning context.

CIP Fellows want to contribute to broadening Canadian planning practice to better include Indigenous professional voices.
