CAED Resilience Bursary
About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting your studies in youth mental health, psychology, or environmental sciences. Apply through Indspire's central Building Brighter Futures program — one application covers all sponsor pools.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact CAED (the fund supporting mental health, addictions, and the environment in Manitoba) Fund to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is for you if you are passionate about improving youth mental health or protecting the environment through your academic work. 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 CAED Fund how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask CAED Fund during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with CAED Fund whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain. How to apply: This funding is administered through Indspire's Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships program. Students complete one central application that's evaluated against all 360+ of Indspire's funding pools (including this one) — you don't apply to the sponsor directly. The Apply button on this page routes to Indspire's portal automatically. For the full program description, all three application deadlines, and detailed eligibility, see Indspire Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships on FundMyCourse.

More details
The biggest mistake is writing a generic application.
Winners instead explicitly link their studies in psychology, youth mental health, or environmental science to the CAED Fund's goal of providing wrap-around services and individualized care.
The biggest mistake is submitting without a letter of support.
Winners instead include a reference from a professor or community leader who can verify their commitment to helping youth or the environment.
The biggest mistake is waiting until the final deadline.
Since there are three windows (August 1, November 1, and February 1), apply for the earliest one possible to get your funding sorted sooner.
