About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an Indigenous student award supporting any program of study at a post-secondary institution across Canada.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Guardian Capital Group Limited to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student attending a post-secondary institution across Canada and can show you have a financial need for funding. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published beyond the focus on financial need, community contribution, and academic merit — ask Guardian Capital Group Limited how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Guardian Capital Group Limited 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 Guardian Capital Group Limited whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
