The Incomindios scholarship programs for Indigenous Peoples
Incomindios Lippuner Scholarship
Named in memory of Eva Lippuner, a long-time supporter of Indigenous rights who passed away in 2019, this scholarship continues the legacy of Eva and her husband, Heinz Lippuner, both founding members of Incomindios. We extend our sincere gratitude to Heinz Lippuner for his continued support of this meaningful initiative.
Incomindios – in partnership with the University of Kent, the University of York, and the Centre for Indigenous and Settler Colonial Studies – offers Indigenous students financial support in their academic journey. The scholarship provides at least USD 5,000 toward tuition fees and includes a remote internship with Incomindios, where the scholar can publish their work through our networks and deliver virtual guest lectures in collaboration with partners in Switzerland and the UK.
Education is essential for self-determination and for advancing the rights of Indigenous communities, and this scholarship seeks to support the next generation of Indigenous leaders. You can apply for the 2026 Incomindios Lippuner Scholarship here.

Incomindios Indigenous Youth UN Scholarship
Since 2019, Incomindios has supported the participation of Indigenous youth in UN bodies through the Incomindios Indigenous Youth UN Scholarship program. The scholarship is awarded once a year and is aimed at Indigenous youth who actively advocate for the rights of their community. The candidates are selected by an internal committee.
Through the Incomindios Indigenous Youth UN Scholarship, Incomindios promotes Indigenous youth in their role as future political leaders. UN experts from Incomindios accompany them to relevant sessions in Geneva (EMRIP) or New York (UNPFII) and introduce them to UN work.
