About this award

You can receive $3,000 per year for three years, totaling $9,000.00. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are pursuing a Bachelor of Science (BSc. — a four-year undergraduate degree) in Indigenous Environmental Science (IENS) and face financial barriers regarding your tuition or housing costs. You must apply by October 31, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask First Nations University of Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask First Nations University of Canada 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 First Nations University of Canada whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be enrolled in the BSc. in Indigenous Environmental Science (IENS) program. Priority is given to Indigenous Women, followed by Indigenous men, then People of Colour (POC) women, and finally People of Colour (POC) men. This award targets students with financial needs from a barrier perspective, specifically to help with tuition or housing costs.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid writing a generic statement about needing money. Instead, explain exactly how the funds will remove a specific barrier to your education, such as a gap in your housing budget. List the specific costs you are struggling to cover.
• RealismAvoid assuming the priority categories guarantee an award. Instead, treat this as one part of a broader financial plan. Apply for other bursaries at the same time to increase your security.
