YorkU receives nearly $750K from MNO to fund Métis Studies doctoral fellowships

York University has received nearly $750K from the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) to support the creation of a new doctoral fellowship in Métis studies. The Métis Nation of Ontario Doctoral Fellowship will support Métis scholars as they pursue new research, bolster the academic literature on Métis history and culture, and engage in projects that incorporate the principles of Métis research. “This fellowship marks an important milestone in our ongoing efforts to foster Métis-led research and scholarship,” said MNO President Margaret Froh. “Through this partnership, we are ensuring that the voices, stories, and histories of Métis people are not only told but are studied and celebrated at the highest levels of academia.”
