About this award

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. It is a one-time award. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are starting your journey in a business program. Deadlines come around three times a year on August 1, November 1 and February 1, so aim for whichever one is next. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the application portal. 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. They consider your financial need as the main factor, but they also look at your grades and how you have contributed to your community. 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 — since this is a one-time award, you cannot apply for it again in future years.

Who qualifies

You qualify if you have any Indigenous affiliation and are under the age of 25. You must be entering full-time studies at an accredited Canadian university or college in a business program. You also need a valid Social Insurance Number (SIN — the nine-digit number the government uses to track your work and taxes).
