Award description

Winona Wood was a university professor when there were very few female professors. She wanted to see women become independent and strong. She established what was originally the Cenelelen Award in 1995. After her passing, her family asked that the award name be changed to honour her memory.

This award is available to Indigenous women in any program who plan to become more self-sufficient as a result of their education.
