About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an annual bursary for Indigenous students from New Brunswick attending NBCC who show financial need.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact New Brunswick Community College 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 person from New Brunswick who needs extra financial help to afford your education. You have three 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 — ask New Brunswick Community College how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask New Brunswick Community College 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 New Brunswick Community College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain, though the award is distributed annually.

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 submitting without a letter from a community leader or teacher.
Winners instead include a reference who can verify their Indigenous affiliation and their commitment to their studies.
The biggest mistake is waiting until the final deadline.
Since there are three separate dates (August 1, November 1, and February 1), you should apply for the earliest one that fits your start date to get your funds sooner.
