About this award
Get funding for up to four years of your full-time post-secondary studies in engineering, business, or tech — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Cenovus Energy Inc. 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 identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a career in the energy sector, technology, or business management. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Cenovus Energy Inc. how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Cenovus Energy Inc. 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 Cenovus Energy Inc. whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
