Hudson’s Bay Indigenous Student Awards

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding available to Indigenous students attending post-secondary institutions across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Hudson s Bay Foundation to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, 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 pursuing your education at any level of study in any program across Canada. 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 — whether it is by email, phone, or through an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Hudson s Bay Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Hudson s Bay Foundation 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 Hudson s Bay Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
