About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students from Waywayseecappo First Nations, Manitoba.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Judith Hamilton 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 from the Waywayseecappo First Nations community in Manitoba who wants to honor the legacy of students from Rossburn Elementary school in the 1960s. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or a portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Judith Hamilton how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Judith Hamilton 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 Judith Hamilton whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

More details
The biggest mistake is writing a generic application.
Winners instead share personal stories about their connection to the Waywayseecappo First Nations community and how their education honors previous generations of students.
The biggest mistake is submitting without a community reference.
Winners instead include a letter from a community leader or elder who can verify their ties to the region.
The biggest mistake is waiting until the final day to apply.
Since there are three separate deadlines (August 1, November 1, and February 1), aim for the earliest one to get your funding sorted before the semester starts.
