About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for an annual award for Indigenous residents of Manitoba in full-time post-secondary programs.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology (MITT — a public college providing vocational and technical training) to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student living in Manitoba who needs financial help to stay in 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 — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology 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 Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be a resident of Manitoba with any Indigenous affiliation. You must be enrolled in any MITT (Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology) full-time post-secondary program. Please note that you cannot apply if you are in MITT high school programs, Youth Build Trades Exploration, English language, or Life Long Learning (continuing education) programs. You must also show demonstrated financial need.
