About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Bruce Power 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 Saugeen, Nawash, or the Métis Nation of Ontario Region 7 who needs financial help to cover your education costs. 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, a portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Bruce Power how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Bruce Power 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 Bruce Power whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
