About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Indspire (the organization that administers this award) to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing a specialized professional qualification in law or emergency medical services. 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 how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Feiga Bresver Academic Fund how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Feiga Bresver Academic Fund 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 Feiga Bresver Academic Fund whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must have any Indigenous affiliation to qualify. There are two distinct award paths: one award is for one (1) student enrolled in a three-year law program (with a preference for those at the Bora Laskin School of Law at Lakehead University), and one award is for one (1) student enrolled in a two-year paramedic program.

This is what the award's own page said when we last checked. Rules change, so confirm with the provider before you apply.
