Get $2,200 for your studies in health or social development at Okanagan College.
Published by G Paul · last checked August 31, 2026
You can receive $2,200 as a bursary to help cover your education costs. There are 5 bursaries per year available. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student attending Okanagan College who has a demonstrated financial need and is pursuing a career in health or social development. 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 an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Okanagan College how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Okanagan 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 Okanagan College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
You must be an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation attending Okanagan College. You must show demonstrated financial need. You must be enrolled in an academic program related to health and social development, such as: - Aboriginal Community Support Worker - Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Years 1 and 2) - Certified Dental Assistant - Early Childhood Education - Healthcare Assistant - Human Kinetics / Kinesiology - Human Services Work - Medical Device Reprocessing Technician - Pharmacy Technician - Practical Nursing - Therapist Assistant
