Citizen Relations L.P.
About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students studying communications or marketing across Canada.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Citizen Relations L.P. 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 pursuing a career in the creative and strategic side of business, specifically in communications or marketing. There are three separate deadlines: 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 beyond a focus on academic merit and community contribution — ask Citizen Relations L.P. how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Citizen Relations L.P. 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 Citizen Relations L.P. whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
