Manitoba Unions Indigenous Student Prize in Labour Studies was established by Manitoba’s unions to support Indigenous students who are pursuing post-secondary education in the Labour Studies Program at the University of Manitoba.

Inspired by a commitment to reconciliation, the prize aims to create more pathways for Indigenous students to pursue opportunities in the labour movement, as union leaders, staff and member activists. The prize of $5,000 is open to Indigenous students majoring or minoring in Labour Studies.

The prize application period is expected to open in early 2026 and the prize will be awarded at the end of the 2025/26 school year. For more information, please visit the University of Manitoba’s Financial Aid and Awards website: https://umanitoba.ca/financial-aid-and-awards/indigenous.
