About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Lakeside Process Controls to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you have any Indigenous affiliation and are pursuing post-secondary education in Ontario or Manitoba. 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 Lakeside Process Controls how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Lakeside Process Controls 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 Lakeside Process Controls whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must have any Indigenous affiliation and be studying in Ontario or Manitoba. This award is open to any level of post-secondary study. While all programs are considered, the funder gives first preference to those in Engineering or Skilled Trades, and second preference to those in Commerce, Human Resources, Business Administration, or Marketing.

Tips for applying

Program ChoiceAvoid assuming you cannot apply if you aren't in engineering. Instead, highlight how your specific program—even in business or HR—helps you contribute to the workforce. Clearly state your field of study and why it matters.
SupportAvoid submitting a generic application without local context. Instead, include references who can speak to your ties to Ontario or Manitoba. Get a letter from a community leader or teacher who knows your roots.
RealismAvoid ignoring the preference categories. Instead, emphasize any overlap between your studies and the preferred fields of Engineering, Trades, or Business. If you are in a different field, spend extra time explaining your career goals.
