LNG Canada Bursaries
About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an annual bursary to help cover your post-secondary education costs if you are an Indigenous student with financial need. Apply through Indspire's central Building Brighter Futures program — one application covers all sponsor pools.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact LNG Canada 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 one of the partner nations who needs extra financial help to afford your schooling. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask LNG Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask LNG Canada 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 LNG Canada whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain. How to apply: This funding is administered through Indspire's Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships program. Students complete one central application that's evaluated against all 360+ of Indspire's funding pools (including this one) — you don't apply to the sponsor directly. The Apply button on this page routes to Indspire's portal automatically. For the full program description, all three application deadlines, and detailed eligibility, see Indspire Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships on FundMyCourse.

More details
The biggest mistake is providing a vague statement about needing money.
Winners instead provide a clear budget showing exactly where their funding gaps are and how this bursary fills those holes.
The biggest mistake is submitting a generic letter of support.
Winners instead secure letters from community leaders or elders that specifically verify their affiliation with their First Nation or Métis group.
The biggest mistake is waiting until the final deadline to apply.
Since these are distributed annually across three dates, apply for the earliest possible deadline to get your funds sooner.
