About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for this award supporting Indigenous students in Ontario or Manitoba.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — 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
