About this award
Apply by May 30 for an annual award for Indigenous students enrolled in the Graduate diploma in Indigenous Policy and Administration at Carleton University.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Carleton University to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing specialized graduate training in policy and administration. You must apply by May 30. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Carleton University how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Carleton 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 Carleton University whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
