About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Huron University College 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 identify as Indigenous and need extra financial help to cover the costs of your education. 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 an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Huron University College how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Huron University College 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 Huron University College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You qualify for this bursary if you are an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation. You must be attending Huron University and show demonstrated financial need. This award is open to you regardless of your program of study or your level of study.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing a vague statement about needing money. Instead, provide a clear breakdown of your tuition gaps and living expenses. List your specific costs to show exactly why you need this funding.
• StrategyAvoid applying only once. Since there are three deadlines (August 1, November 1, and February 1), you should track which one aligns best with your financial gaps for the school year.
• RealismAvoid relying on this as your only source of funding. Because the exact amount isn't public, treat this as a helpful top-up and continue applying for other grants and scholarships.
