About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for funding available to Indigenous students attending any post-secondary institution across 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 with demonstrated financial need who is pursuing a post-secondary education. 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 — 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.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student attending a post-secondary institution across Canada, such as a college, university, technical college, or apprenticeship program. You must show demonstrated financial need for help with your education costs. While any program of study is eligible, preference is given to students in construction programs.
