About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Loblaw Companies Limited to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student who needs financial help to afford your studies and you have a strong record of helping your community. 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 — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Loblaw Companies Limited how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Loblaw Companies Limited 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 Loblaw Companies Limited whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation. You can be studying at any level of study at a post-secondary institution across Canada, including a college, university, technical college, or apprenticeship program. While you must show financial need to qualify, the funders also look for your academic performance and how much you have contributed to your community.

Tips for applying

Community LeadershipAvoid listing your volunteer roles as a simple bulleted list. Instead, tell stories that show the actual impact you had on your community. Describe a specific problem you helped solve.
StrategyAvoid ignoring the three different deadlines. Instead, align your application with the deadline that best matches your current enrollment status or financial gap. Check if one window is less competitive than others.
RealismAvoid assuming financial need is the only factor. Instead, balance your application by highlighting your academic merit alongside your need. Show that you are both a hardworking student and a community leader.
