Joy and Hope (Gaudium et Spes) Entrance Award for Indigenous Students

This award, made possible by the generosity of the Diocese of London, was established in 2013 to inspire change in Indigenous communities in Canada. Its purpose is to instill confidence of a bright future for Indigenous youth, so that they may discover richness in their lives and contribute meaningfully to their community, in joy and in hope. Gaudium et Spes (Joy and Hope) was one of the last documents published at the Vatican Council II. The name of the document is taken from the first line, which reads "the joys and the hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of the followers of Christ."

This award is granted annually to a First Nations, Inuit or Métis student entering full-time or part-time study at King's University College in the next academic year.
