About this award

You can receive a $2,000 scholarship to support your educational journey. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. Along with the money, you will also receive an item of cultural significance. This is for you if you are an Indigenous hockey player. You must apply by April 15, 2026. Hockey Nova Scotia will only contact you if you are selected as a winner. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Hockey Nova Scotia how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Hockey Nova Scotia 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 Hockey Nova Scotia whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous hockey player.

Tips for applying

ApplicationAvoid sending a generic application. Instead, highlight your experience as an Indigenous athlete and how this support impacts your education. Mention your specific connection to hockey.
SupportAvoid omitting your athletic achievements. Instead, provide a clear record of your playing history and any leadership roles you held on your team. List your team affiliations clearly.
StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to submit. Instead, complete the Google Form well before the April 15 deadline to ensure there are no technical issues. Double-check your contact information.
RealismAvoid counting on this money. Instead, remember that this is a single annual award for one player, meaning it is highly selective. Apply for multiple awards to increase your chances.
