Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students in health and fitness programs across Canada.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact GoodLife Fitness 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 with a passion for health, fitness, or physical activity. 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 GoodLife Fitness how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask GoodLife Fitness 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 GoodLife Fitness whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
You qualify if you have any Indigenous affiliation and are attending a post-secondary institution anywhere in Canada. You can be at any level of study. You must have an interest in health, fitness, or physical activity and be enrolled in one of these programs: Health and Physical Education/Fitness, Kinesiology, Exercise Science, Physical Fitness Technician, or Sports and Fitness Administration/Management. Winners will be selected from a range of provinces and territories across the country.
