A global design firm has established two new scholarships for eligible Indigenous students studying at the McEwen School of Architecture in Sudbury.

Perkins&Will, which has studios in Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver, is partnering with the Indigenous charity Indspire to provide up to $5,000 to two deserving students annually.

The Perkins&Will Canada Indigenous Graduate Architecture Award will go to a student enrolled in the master's in architecture program. The recipient will be chosen based on academic achievement and a thesis research project.
