About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Paramount Resources Ltd. 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 identify as Indigenous and are managing the costs of your education while attending a post-secondary school in Canada. 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 Paramount Resources Ltd. how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Paramount Resources Ltd. 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 Paramount Resources Ltd. whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You qualify if you have any Indigenous affiliation and are attending a post-secondary institution in Canada. This award is open to you regardless of your program of study or your level of study. You must also show demonstrated financial need to be considered for one of the fifteen bursaries distributed annually.

Tips for applying

Financial NeedAvoid providing a vague statement about being "broke." Instead, provide a clear budget showing your total costs versus your available income and other grants. List every expense to prove your gap in funding.
RealismAvoid relying on this as your only source of funding. With only 15 awards given annually, the odds are tight. Use this as a top-up to your main student loans or larger provincial grants.
