$5,000 per year for two full-time Indigenous students in communications or marketing programs.
Published by G Paul · last checked August 31, 2026
You can receive $5,000 per year for your tuition costs. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. Two full-time Indigenous students are selected each year, and you can renew this funding for up to four years. This is for you if you are a First Nations, Métis, or Inuit student who dreams of a career in marketing and communication, especially if you want to work in the video game industry. Deadlines come around three times a year on August 1, November 1 and February 1, so aim for whichever one is next. No specific notification timeline is posted publicly — before you start your application, check Evolve PR's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back about your status. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Evolve PR how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Evolve PR 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. You can renew this scholarship for up to four years. Confirm with Evolve PR what you need to maintain each year to keep the funding.
You must have any Indigenous affiliation (First Nations, Métis, or Inuit) and be a full-time student from anywhere across the country. You must be enrolled in a relevant program of study, such as Public Relations, Communications, Marketing, Brand Development, Video and Media Production, Visual Effects and Editing, Digital Marketing, Social Media and Social Media Marketing, or Data Analysis and Statistics.
