About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Cando Rail to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a bursary, 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 post-secondary education, especially if you have a demonstrated financial need. You can apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Cando Rail how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Cando Rail 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 Cando Rail whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation living in Canada. This award is open to you regardless of your program of study or your level of study. While anyone meeting these basics can apply, preference will be given to those with a demonstrated financial need. The reviewers may also consider your involvement in and contribution to your community.
