About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an annual award for Indigenous students in full-time post-secondary programs at MITT who live in Manitoba.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology (MITT — a public college providing trades and technology training) to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student living in Manitoba who needs extra financial help to afford your post-secondary education. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via 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.
