Kw’umut Lelum Foundation

The Kw’umut Lelum Foundation collaborates with a vibrant community of private and public donors, united in our efforts to expand cultural, economic, social, educational and recreational access in support of Indigenous children and their families.

The limitless potential of Indigenous youth is at the centre of the work we undertake.

Kw’umut Lelum Foundation Award

This award is to be distributed to students who are attending post-secondary institutions across Canada [i.e. College, University, technical college or apprenticeship program], with demonstrated financial need for contribution to education costs.

Although demonstrated financial need will be the primary consideration, other factors may also be considered such as involvement in and contribution to the community as a whole; and demonstrated academic merit and performance.
