About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact United College to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. 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 entrepreneurship and can show that you have a financial need for extra funding. 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, a portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask United College how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. They consider financial need as the main factor, but they also look at your academic performance and how you contribute to your community. Ask United 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 United College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
