Funding for Indigenous students studying law at any post-secondary institution across Canada.
Published by G Paul · last checked August 31, 2026
No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Norton Rose Fulbright to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing a law degree and can show that you need financial help to cover 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 — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Norton Rose Fulbright how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Norton Rose Fulbright 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 Norton Rose Fulbright whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
You must be an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation. You must be attending a post-secondary institution across Canada, which includes a college, university, technical college, or apprenticeship program. You must be studying law and have demonstrated financial need. While financial need is the main factor, the organisers may also look at your academic merit, your performance in school, and how you have contributed to your community.
