About this award

You can receive one or more scholarships of at least $1,000 each. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a First Nations, Métis, or Inuit student pursuing studies within the School of Public Administration. No deadline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check University of Victoria, School of Public Administration's program page or call their office to confirm when applications open and close this year. Selection criteria aren't published — ask University of Victoria, School of Public Administration how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask University of Victoria, School of Public Administration 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 University of Victoria, School of Public Administration whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
