About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — 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 providers also look for your academic performance and how much you have contributed to your community.
