About this award
Apply by August 1 or November 1 for undergraduate funding if you are an Indigenous student attending Canadian Mennonite University.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Canadian Mennonite University 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 have Indigenous ancestry and are pursuing your undergraduate degree at Canadian Mennonite University, whether in a general program or specifically within the Redekop School of Business. You have two deadlines to meet: August 1 and November 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Canadian Mennonite University how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Canadian Mennonite University 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 Canadian Mennonite University whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

More details
The biggest mistake is giving a generic description of your heritage.
Winners instead share specific stories about how their Indigenous ancestry shapes their goals and why studying at CMU is the right fit for those goals.
The biggest mistake is submitting references that only speak to your grades.
Winners instead provide letters from community leaders or mentors who can verify their Indigenous affiliation and community involvement.
The biggest mistake is waiting until the final deadline.
Since there are two windows (August 1 and November 1), aim for the earliest one to show you are organized and eager.
