About this award
Access a share of a nearly $1.5 million fund for your Social Work degree—apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.
The provider has a total fund of nearly $1.5 million to distribute among winners, but they do not post a fixed dollar amount for individual awards. Contact Diana Fowler LeBlanc to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a First Nation, Inuit, or Métis student who wants to support your community through a career in social work. It is especially geared toward mature students who are already active in this field within their communities. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly—before you start the application, check Diana Fowler LeBlanc's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. Selection criteria aren't published—ask Diana Fowler LeBlanc how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Diana Fowler LeBlanc 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 Diana Fowler LeBlanc whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
