About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding if you are an Indigenous student in BC, QC, or ON studying renewable energy, business, or trades.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Evolugen 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 an Indigenous student pursuing a career in the green energy sector, such as wind, solar, or hydro power. 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 Evolugen's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Evolugen how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Evolugen 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 Evolugen whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
