About this award
You can receive one of two annual $5,000 scholarships. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Inuit student dedicated to the promotion and preservation of your language and rights. You must apply between April 1 and July 9. When you apply, ask Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI) how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or a portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI) how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI) 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 Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Who qualifies
You must be pursuing post-secondary academic studies in the fields of education, Inuit language, or the advancement of Inuit rights.

Tips for applying
- StrategyAvoid waiting until the end of the window to submit. Instead, prepare your materials in March so you can apply as soon as the window opens on April 1. This ensures you don't miss the July 9 deadline.
- RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed fund since only two scholarships are awarded annually. Instead, apply for several other grants at the same time. Diversify your applications to secure your full tuition.
