Church of St. Clement Eglinton Scholarship
About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an annual scholarship for Indigenous post-secondary students with financial need.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Church of St. Clement 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 are an Indigenous student attending a post-secondary institution and can show you have a financial need for extra funding. 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 Church of St. Clement how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Church of St. Clement 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 Church of St. Clement whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
