About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact The Fuller Family Foundation 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 live in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, and are pursuing a career in health professions or related medical fields. 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 The Fuller Family Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask The Fuller Family Foundation 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 The Fuller Family Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• StrategyAvoid waiting until the final deadline to apply. Since there are three windows (August, November, and February), try to apply during the earliest one that fits your situation to get your funding sorted sooner.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is the only source of funding. Because this is a targeted bursary for a specific community, you should also look for broader Indigenous student awards through Indspire (the national Indigenous education foundation).
