The Incomindios scholarship programs for Indigenous Peoples
This scholarship for Indigenous students is named in memory of Eva Lippuner. A long-time supporter of Indigenous rights, she passed away in 2019. With the Incomindios Lippuner Scholarship, Incomindios - in cooperation with the University of Kent - offers Indigenous students financial support in their studies.
The Incomindios-Lippuner Scholarship aims to support young members of Indigenous Peoples through the powerful tool of education. Incomindios is convinced that education is of utmost importance for the self-determination and assertion of the rights of Indigenous communities.

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.
