About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for one of two awards targeting students in three-year law or two-year paramedic programs.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Feiga Bresver Academic Fund 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 law or emergency medical services. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. 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.

The biggest mistake is providing references who only know you socially.
