McElhanney Indigenous Peoples Scholarship
From coast to coast, McElhanney acknowledges the Indigenous Territories we work and reside on. We strive to be trusted partners with Indigenous communities across Western Canada and are proud of the Indigenous peoples that we work with.
With an ongoing commitment to honour, respect, and to hear the voices of Indigenous peoples, our mission is to partner with those who are considering a career in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), Business Support Services, or Administration Services. The McElhanney Indigenous Peoples Scholarship provides Indigenous students and intergenerational community members with the option of completing or upgrading their education while engaging in hands-on training to support their long-term career goals.
Selected recipient interested in completing an education program is awarded up to $5,000 to use towards tuition, textbooks, supplies, and living expenses (on-campus accommodations). Alternatively, potential recipient can be an intergenerational community member who chooses to focus on hands-on career experience (forgo education option) with McElhanney and will be awarded the same amount to use towards career training or as a donation to an Indigenous-owned business, charity, or cause within their local community.
Selected recipient that is enrolled in eligible education programs (see list below) will be awarded up to $5,000 to support tuition, textbooks, supplies, and living expenses (including on-campus accommodations), along with a direct internship opportunity.
Our year-round scholarship has two intakes each year--one in the fall (September-November) and one in the winter (January-March). Only one student will be selected each intake. One recipient will be selected for this scholarship award. We welcome applications from Indigenous students of all backgrounds, including but not limited to women, persons with disabilities, members of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, and other equity-deserving groups.
In Honour of Angus Cockney
McElhanney has named the Indigenous Peoples Scholarship in honour of Angus Cockney, in recognition of his professional achievements and his outstanding, positive impact in his Indigenous community.
Born in Tuktoyaktuk, NT, Angus Cockney is an Indigenous community member and residential school survivor. As a young child, Angus was taken to the Inuvik Roman Catholic Residential School, where he spent 13 years of his life. While in the residential school system, Angus took up the sport of cross-country skiing, becoming a national champion skier, and was chosen to accompany the 1989 Robert Swan "Icewalk" expedition to the North Pole as the Canadian member of an international team. Angus is also an accomplished artist. He began creating art based on his culture, his concern for the environment, and his desire to be an educator and spokesperson supporting Inuit art and northern peoples. In addition to these outstanding accomplishments, Angus has been a land surveyor with McElhanney since 2013. Currently working part-time, Angus spends his free time working at the Bowden Institution penitentiary counselling Indigenous inmates.
