About this award
Get $5,000 for your undergraduate studies in real estate, hospitality, or shared services if you are an Indigenous student in select provinces — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.
You can receive one (1) scholarship of $5,000. 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 pursuing an undergraduate degree in fields like real estate, tourism, or corporate services. 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 Canada Lands Company how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Canada Lands Company 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 Canada Lands Company whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

More details
The biggest mistake is writing a generic essay.
Winners instead explain exactly how their degree in real estate, hospitality, or shared services matches the specific business goals of Canada Lands Company.
The biggest mistake is providing a basic character reference.
Winners instead secure letters from professors or employers that prove their leadership within their Indigenous community.
The biggest mistake is applying only once.
Since there are three separate deadlines (August 1, November 1, and February 1), you should refine your application based on feedback and apply again if you aren't selected the first time.
