The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Baker Hughes Canada Company 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 an Indigenous student from the Blueberry River First Nations, Haisla First Nation, Cold Lake First Nation, or Fort McKay First Nation pursuing specialized technical or healthcare training. Deadlines come around three times a year on August 1, November 1 and February 1, so aim for whichever one is next. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Baker Hughes Canada Company how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Baker Hughes Canada Company 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 Baker Hughes Canada Company whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
You must be an Indigenous student from one of these groups: Blueberry River First Nations, Haisla First Nation, Cold Lake First Nation, or Fort McKay First Nation. You can be at any level of study. Your program must be related to Healthcare and Social Services, Engineering (specifically Chemical, Mechanical, Petroleum, or Electrical) degrees or tech diplomas, Chemistry, Oil & Gas related programs, or Welding & Machining programs.
