About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for funding available to Indigenous students in undergraduate Business or STEM degree programs.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact CG (Canaccord Genuity — an independent financial services company) 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 identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a degree in a technical or business field. You have three potential deadlines to meet: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask CG how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask CG 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 CG whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
