As part of our commitment to embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion into our business, Merck Canada is continually exploring ways to give back to the communities we serve. As such, we are pleased to announce the new Merck Canada Indigenous Student Scholarship, administered by Universities Canada/Universités Canada.

The objective of this scholarship is to provide financial assistance and support to Indigenous people who wish to pursue or are currently pursuing higher education.

"We recognize the significant barriers that Indigenous students often face in accessing higher education due to financial constraints, lack of resources, and systemic challenges. We at Merck Canada hope this scholarship will empower Indigenous, Inuit, and Métis students to pursue their educational goals", said Marie-Claude Lapointe, Director of Human Resources at Merck Canada.
