AGF Scholarship for Indigenous Students
About this award
Get a one-time bursary for your business studies if you are an Indigenous student under 25 — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1. Apply through Indspire's central Building Brighter Futures program — one application covers all sponsor pools.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact AGF Investments Inc. to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing a career in business and can show that you need financial help to afford your education. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask AGF Investments Inc. how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask AGF Investments Inc. during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — because this is a one-time award, you cannot renew it for future years. How to apply: This funding is administered through Indspire's Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships program. Students complete one central application that's evaluated against all 360+ of Indspire's funding pools (including this one) — you don't apply to the sponsor directly. The Apply button on this page routes to Indspire's portal automatically. For the full program description, all three application deadlines, and detailed eligibility, see Indspire Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships on FundMyCourse.

More details
The biggest mistake is writing a generic letter about wanting money.
Winners instead provide a clear budget showing exactly where they fall short and explain how this specific bursary closes that gap.
The biggest mistake is using a teacher who barely knows you.
Winners instead use a community leader or mentor who can speak specifically about your contributions to your people and culture.
The biggest mistake is applying only once.
Since there are three separate deadlines (August 1, November 1, and February 1), you should check if you can re-apply or update your application if your financial situation changes.
