About this award

You can receive a bursary of $4,000 to help cover your education costs. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you identify as an Indigenous student and need extra financial support to complete your career training. 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 Eastern College how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Eastern College how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Eastern College 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 are counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Eastern College whether it is a one-time award or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You qualify for this bursary if you have any Indigenous affiliation and are attending any diploma program at Eastern College. You must also show demonstrated financial need to be considered for the $4,000 award.
