About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Architecture49 to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a career in the design and delivery of built environments. 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 Indspire portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Architecture49 how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Architecture49 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 Architecture49 whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You qualify if you have any Indigenous affiliation. You can be at any level of study, provided you are enrolled in a program of study for architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, or architectural or building technology.

Tips for applying

StrategyAvoid waiting until the final deadline to apply. Since there are three windows (August, November, and February), apply in the earliest one possible to show your proactive nature.
RealismAvoid assuming the award covers full tuition. Because the exact amount isn't public, treat this as a helpful supplement rather than your primary funding source until you confirm the value.
