About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Northcrest Developments to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and belong to one of the targeted communities in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) or affiliated First Nations. 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 the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Northcrest Developments how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Northcrest Developments 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 Northcrest Developments whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
