No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Neil and Katherine Camarta 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 attending a post-secondary institution and can show that you have a financial need for help with your education costs. 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 — whether it is by email, phone, or through a portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Neil and Katherine Camarta how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Neil and Katherine Camarta 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 Neil and Katherine Camarta whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
You must be an Indigenous student with any Indigenous Affiliation attending a post-secondary institution. You can be at any level of study. To qualify, you must show demonstrated financial need. While any program is eligible, first preference is given to students studying in Engineering programs, and second preference is given to students studying in Science, Technology, and Math programs.
