About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Deloitte to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, 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 across Canada pursuing a post-secondary education, especially if you are focusing on business, finance, or accounting. 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 application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Deloitte how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Deloitte 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 Deloitte whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student from across Canada attending a post-secondary institution. This award is open to you regardless of your specific Indigenous affiliation or your level of study. While any program is eligible, you will have a better chance if you are studying business administration, finance, or accounting.

Tips for applying

Program FocusAvoid writing a generic application. Instead, highlight why you chose business, finance, or accounting and how those specific skills will help your community. Mention your specific career goals in these fields to match the funder's preferences.
StrategySince there are three deadlines throughout the year, do not wait until the final one. Submit your materials for the earliest possible window to show you are proactive and organized.
RealismBecause this is open to any Indigenous affiliation across all of Canada, it is likely competitive. Treat this as one part of your funding plan rather than your only source of support.
