Build Nova Scotia: Boat Harbour Remediation Project
About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a scholarship supporting students from Pictou Landing First Nation studying STEM.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Build Nova Scotia: Boat Harbour Remediation Project 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 a member of the Pictou Landing First Nation and want to pursue a career in science or technology to help reclaim and protect the environment. You have three different deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Build Nova Scotia: Boat Harbour Remediation Project how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Build Nova Scotia: Boat Harbour Remediation Project 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 Build Nova Scotia: Boat Harbour Remediation Project whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
