About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact ARC Resources Ltd. 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 from one of the company's operating area communities who needs help covering the costs of your education. 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 online portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask ARC Resources Ltd. how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask ARC Resources Ltd. 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 ARC Resources Ltd. whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must have any Indigenous affiliation and be from one of the following communities in the company's operating areas: Halfway River First Nation, West Moberly First Nations, Saulteau First Nations, Blueberry River First Nations, Doig River First Nation, McLeod Lake Indian Band, Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, Horse Lake First Nation, Gift Lake Metis Settlement (postal codes T0G 0B4 and T0G 1B0), Sucker Creek First Nation, or East Prairie Metis Settlement (postal codes T0H 0B3 and T0H 2W0).

More details

Community Connection

Avoid writing a generic application.

Instead, highlight your specific ties to your home community and explain how your education will eventually benefit that local area.

References

Many students provide generic teacher references.

You will stand out if you secure a reference from a community leader or Elder who can vouch for your character and your commitment to your people.

Strategy

Since there are three deadlines (August, November, and February), do not wait until the final one.

Applying in the earliest window often gives you a better chance before the annual funds are fully allocated.
