Every gift to the University of Lethbridge strengthens educational experiences and research at Dhillon, helping prepare the next generation of business leaders for our community and beyond.
Dhillon School of Business Scholarships
The Aikimmisa Pookaiksi Graduate Scholarship in Management
The Aikimmisa Pookaiksi Graduate Scholarship in Management, was established in 2023 by the dean of the Dhillon School of Business, Dr. Kerry Godfrey, with gifts from the community, to help address the lack of funding for Indigenous graduate students.
Aikimmisa Pookaiksi is a Blackfoot term and means to ‘raise up the children.’ The name was given by Blackfoot Elder Francis First Charger and is meant to honour the “Every Child Matters” movement and help further the school’s commitment to reconciliation and Indigenisation.
Each year a scholarship of $1,000 minimum is now given to an Indigenous graduate student in need of support.
Scholarship Fundraising Dinner
Each year the Dhillon School of Business and its advisory board acknowledge the contributions of an outstanding member of our community through the Scholarship Dinner. Donations raised by the dinner then establish a scholarship fund in the name of the honouree. Proceeds from this fund are used to provide deserving students with financial support that will assist them in attaining their educational goals. To date, more than $2 million has been raised for student scholarships because of this event.
