About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for annual bursaries supporting Indigenous students in STEM programs at Queen s University.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Queen s University 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 are an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation who is managing financial challenges while pursuing a degree in science or computing. Deadlines come around three times a year on August 1, November 1 and February 1, so aim for whichever one is next. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through an online portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Queen s University how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Queen s 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 Queen s University 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 attending Queen s University. You must show demonstrated financial need and be enrolled in one of these professional or undergraduate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) disciplines: Bachelor of Science (Honours), Bachelor of Computing (Honours), or Concurrent Education/Bachelor of Science (Honours).

More details

Financial Need

Avoid providing a vague statement about needing money.

Instead, provide a clear, documented breakdown of your expenses and income gaps to prove your financial need.

Support

Avoid using a generic character reference.

Instead, secure letters from community leaders or professors who can speak specifically to your resilience and academic potential.

Strategy

Avoid applying only once a year.

Since there are three separate deadlines (August 1, November 1, and February 1), you should track each window to maximize your chances.
