About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Sodexo to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a bursary, 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 from Fox Lake Cree Nation who is pursuing post-secondary education. 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 the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Sodexo how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Sodexo 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 Sodexo whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing a vague statement about needing money. Instead, provide a clear budget showing exactly how the bursary fills a gap in your tuition or living costs. List your specific expenses to show why this funding is necessary.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the final deadline of the year. Since there are three separate deadlines (August 1, November 1, and February 1), apply for the earliest one possible to get your funding sorted before the term begins.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is the only source of funding. Because this is based on Indigenous affiliation, you should also look for other awards through Indspire (the national charity that invests in Indigenous education) to maximize your support.
