About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for an annual bursary for Indigenous students from Treaty areas 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact D R Directional 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 from a Treaty area who needs financial help to stay in school. 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 D R Directional how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask D R Directional 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 D R Directional whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You qualify if you are an Indigenous student from any location within Treaty areas 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10. You must be attending a post-secondary institution and show demonstrated financial need. While any program of study is eligible, the provider gives preference to students in engineering, math, and science programs.
