About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact BDO Canada LLP 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 pursuing a professional credential in a business or legal field. 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 application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask BDO Canada LLP how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask BDO Canada LLP 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 BDO Canada LLP whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

StrategyAvoid waiting until the final deadline to apply. Since there are three windows (August 1, November 1, and February 1), try to apply for the earliest one that fits your schedule to potentially get your funding sorted sooner.
RealismAvoid assuming the bursary covers all costs. Because the exact amount isn't public, treat this as a helpful supplement rather than your primary funding source until you confirm the value with BDO Canada LLP.
