About this award

You can receive $1,638.00. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a student of Indigenous Ancestry who is preparing for further studies through a transition program. You must apply by October 15, 2026. When you apply, ask Lakehead University how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through an online portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Lakehead University how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Lakehead University 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 Lakehead University whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be a student of Indigenous Ancestry and be registered in any Indigenous Transition Year Program. Selection is based on your financial need and satisfactory academic achievement.
