About this award

You can receive $1,000.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous learner from within Canada who is balancing your studies with financial challenges. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Sheridan College how and when you will hear back — whether it is through email, the portal, or by phone. Ask Sheridan College how many students usually apply, so you can judge your odds. Ask Sheridan College 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 Sheridan College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be enrolled full-time or part-time in a Sheridan program. You must self-identify as being Indigenous from within Canada: First Nations (Status or Non-Status), Métis, or Inuit. Additionally, you must demonstrate financial need.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid giving a vague statement about needing money. Instead, provide a clear explanation of how this $1,000 will reduce your stress or cover a specific cost. List your specific monthly gaps in funding.
• RealismAvoid assuming that enrollment alone guarantees the award. Instead, remember that only one (1) award of $1,000.00 is available. Apply for several other Sheridan bursaries to increase your chances of funding.
