About this award
You can receive $931.00. 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 woman pursuing your teaching credentials. You must apply by October 1, 2026. When you apply, ask The University of Winnipeg how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through a student portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask The University of Winnipeg how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask The University of Winnipeg 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 University of Winnipeg whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Who qualifies
To qualify, you must be an Indigenous woman. You must also be registered in any year of the Bachelor of Education program with the Winnipeg Education Centre.

Tips for applying
- StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to check your registration status. Instead, confirm you are officially registered in the Bachelor of Education program before you submit. This prevents a technicality from disqualifying you.
- RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed award. Instead, treat this as a helpful supplement to your other funding. Continue searching for other Indigenous-specific awards to ensure your tuition is fully covered.
