About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students in any post-secondary program across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact ConocoPhillips Canada 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 your education and can show that you have a financial need for extra funding. 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, a portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask ConocoPhillips Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask ConocoPhillips Canada 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 ConocoPhillips Canada 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 a post-secondary institution across Canada.

While anyone meeting these criteria can apply, first preference is given to students from the Fort McMurray 468 First Nation, Chipewyan Prairie Dene First Nation, Heart Lake First Nation, and Métis Nation of Alberta – Region 1.
