Diana Fowler LeBlanc Aboriginal Social Work Scholarship

About this award

Access a share of nearly $1.5 million for your undergraduate or graduate Social Work degree—apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.

The provider has established a fund of nearly $1.5 million to support students. 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 a First Nation, Inuit, or Métis student dedicated to improving social issues through a career in social work. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly—before you start your application, check Indspire (the organization that manages this funding)—their program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. Selection criteria aren't published—ask Indspire how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Indspire 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 Indspire whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
