About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for funding available to Indigenous students attending any post-secondary program across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Iron City Fishing Club 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 are an Indigenous student with demonstrated financial need who wants to honor the historical connection between the club and Indigenous peoples of Georgian Bay. 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 the Indspire portal. Selection criteria aren't published in detail, though the club considers financial need as the main factor along with your academic performance and how you contribute to your community. Ask Iron City Fishing Club how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Iron City Fishing Club 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 Iron City Fishing Club whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation attending a post-secondary institution across Canada. This includes any level of study in a college, university, technical college, or apprenticeship program. While the award is open to any Indigenous affiliation, the club uses a preference system: first preference goes to students from Moose Deer Point First Nation, and second preference goes to students from Beausoleil First Nation. If no students from those two communities apply, the club will consider students from Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory or Wasauksing First Nation.
