About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — 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 the Gitga’at First Nation, Gitxaala Nation, Haisla First Nation, Kitsumkalum First Nation, Kitselas First Nation, Lax Kw’alaams Band, Metlakatla First Nation, or the Métis Nation of BC who needs help paying for school. 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, a 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.

Who qualifies

You qualify if you are an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation and belong to one of the following groups: Gitga’at First Nation, Gitxaala Nation, Haisla First Nation, Kitsumkalum First Nation, Kitselas First Nation, Lax Kw’alaams Band, Metlakatla First Nation, or the Métis Nation of BC. You must be attending a post-secondary institution, such as a college, university, technical college, or apprenticeship program. There are no restrictions on your program of study or your level of study, as any program and any level are eligible. You must also show demonstrated financial need for a contribution to 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 monthly shortfall to prove your need.
StrategyAvoid applying only once a year. Since there are three deadlines (August, November, and February), you should track which one aligns best with your school's tuition payment schedule.
RealismAvoid assuming the award covers everything. Because the dollar amount isn't public, treat this as a "top-up" to your other funding rather than your primary source of tuition.
