About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an annual bursary if you are an Indigenous student in your 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year of full-time study at Mount Allison University.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Mount Allison University to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. 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 an Indigenous student currently in your second, third, or fourth year of university who needs extra financial support to finish your degree. You have three different deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published beyond the focus on financial need, though the school may also look at your grades and how you help your community. Ask Mount Allison University how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Mount Allison University 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. These bursaries are distributed annually and may be renewed. Since specific renewal conditions aren't listed, confirm with Mount Allison University what you need to maintain to keep the funding for future years.

More details
The biggest mistake is providing a vague statement about needing money.
Winners instead provide a clear budget showing exactly where their funding gaps are and how this bursary solves a specific problem.
The biggest mistake is using a generic reference letter.
Winners instead ask their referee to give concrete examples of their involvement in or contribution to the community as a whole.
The biggest mistake is applying only once.
Because these are distributed annually and have three separate deadlines (August 1, November 1, and February 1), you should track each window and reapply if the requirements allow it.
