About the Cause

Kemosa Scholarship for First Nations, Métis and Inuit Mothers Who Write was established in 2017 by Dr. Nhung Tran-Davies in partnership with Tlicho Dene author Richard Van Camp. The Kemosa Scholarship offers an opportunity for First Nations, Métis and Inuit Mothers to obtain resources to help them complete the work on their writing – whether that be a novel, a collection of stories, poems, or whatever form their writing might take.
