About this award

You can receive a bursary based on your course load: $3,000 for 18 credit hours, $2,500 for 15 credit hours, $2,000 for 12 credit hours, $1,500 for 9 credit hours, $1,000 for 6 credit hours, or $500 for 3 credit hours. 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 a Metis student who is either starting your studies or returning to school and has a demonstrated financial need. You must apply by June 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Brandon University (Louis Riel Institute) how and when you will hear back—whether it is by email, phone, or through a portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Brandon University (Louis Riel Institute) how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Brandon University (Louis Riel Institute) 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. To keep this award, you must remain in good standing with a minimum 2.0 CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average — the average of all your final grades). You must also show continued financial need by submitting a current Statement of Need by June 1 each year.
