About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Amiskusees: Semaganis Worme Family Foundation 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 law degree who has a demonstrated financial need for help with your education costs. 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 an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Amiskusees: Semaganis Worme Family Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Amiskusees: Semaganis Worme Family Foundation 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 — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Amiskusees: Semaganis Worme Family Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing a vague statement about needing money. Instead, provide a detailed breakdown of your tuition gaps and living expenses to prove exactly why the funding is necessary.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the final deadline. Since there are three windows (August, November, and February), try applying in the earliest cycle to increase your chances of securing funds before they are exhausted.
• RealismAvoid assuming the award is guaranteed based on enrollment. With only four awards available for the entire college, treat this as a competitive supplement rather than your primary source of funding.
