About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an award supporting female-identifying Indigenous students in business, finance, or commerce studying in Vancouver or on Vancouver Island.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact EthicInvest 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 female-identifying Indigenous leader who wants to bring financial literacy back to your community. You have three different deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, a portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask EthicInvest how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask EthicInvest 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 EthicInvest whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
