About this award

You can receive one of numerous awards valued at $1,000 each. 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 pursuing a career in healthcare. You have three different deadlines to choose from: June 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 — ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) 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 RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student pursuing full-time study during the upcoming year. You must be enrolled in a Health Sciences program, such as Nursing, Radiology, or Lab Technology.

Tips for applying

Program ChoiceAvoid being vague about your studies. Instead, clearly state that you are in a Health Sciences program like Nursing, Radiology, or Lab Technology. List your specific program name on your profile.
Account SetupAvoid waiting until the deadline day to register. Instead, create your login on the website early to ensure your technical setup is complete. Visit www.indspire.ca to set up your account today.
StrategyAvoid missing the windows. Instead, mark all three deadlines (June 1, November 1, and February 1) in your calendar. Apply during the earliest window possible to maximize your chances.
RealismAvoid assuming this is the only funding you need. Instead, treat this $1,000 award as a supplement to other grants. Check for other Indigenous-specific bursaries at RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic).
