About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Keyera Corporation 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 Alberta who needs financial help to cover your education costs. 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 application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Keyera Corporation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Keyera Corporation 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 Keyera Corporation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You qualify if you are an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation and you are from Alberta. You must be attending a post-secondary institution in Alberta, which includes any level of study at a college, university, technical college, or apprenticeship program. You must also show a demonstrated financial need for help with your education costs.

Tips for applying

Financial NeedAvoid providing a vague statement about needing money. Instead, provide a clear breakdown of your tuition gaps and living expenses. List your specific costs to show exactly why you need this bursary.
StrategyAvoid applying only once. Since there are three separate deadlines (August, November, and February), you should track which one best aligns with your semester's heaviest costs and apply accordingly.
RealismAvoid relying on this as your only source of funding. Because the award amount isn't public, treat this as a helpful top-up while you continue to apply for other Alberta-based Indigenous grants.
