About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for an annual award supporting Indigenous students in Architecture or Landscape Architecture.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Arthur Erickson Foundation Yosef Wosk Family Foundation to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a First Nation, Inuit, or Métis student pursuing a career in design, specifically within architecture or landscape architecture. 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 Arthur Erickson Foundation Yosef Wosk Family Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Arthur Erickson Foundation Yosef Wosk 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 Arthur Erickson Foundation Yosef Wosk Family Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
