Jones DesLauriers Insurance Management Inc. · National
Jones DesLauriers Insurance Bursary for Indigenous Students
About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students in any post-secondary program across Canada. Apply through Indspire's central Building Brighter Futures program — one application covers all sponsor pools.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Jones DesLauriers Insurance Management Inc. 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 who needs financial support to pursue your education. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published beyond the focus on financial need, community involvement, and academic merit — ask Jones DesLauriers Insurance Management Inc. how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Jones DesLauriers Insurance Management Inc. 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 Jones DesLauriers Insurance Management Inc. whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain. How to apply: This funding is administered through Indspire's Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships program. Students complete one central application that's evaluated against all 360+ of Indspire's funding pools (including this one) — you don't apply to the sponsor directly. The Apply button on this page routes to Indspire's portal automatically. For the full program description, all three application deadlines, and detailed eligibility, see Indspire Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships on FundMyCourse.
