About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding to help cover your education costs if you are an Indigenous student attending post-secondary school in Canada.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact BTY Group 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 are an Indigenous student who needs extra financial help to pay for your schooling. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. 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 BTY Group how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask BTY Group 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 BTY Group whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
