About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Pelmorex 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 are pursuing higher education to build your future. 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 Pelmorex how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Pelmorex 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 Pelmorex 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 any post-secondary institute or program within Canada. This includes any post-secondary undergraduate or graduate program. While you can apply regardless of your field of study, the funder has a strong focus on students in Business, Computer Science, Journalism, Environmental Science, Meteorology, Advertising & Marketing.

Tips for applying

Field of StudyAvoid assuming you cannot apply because you aren't in a "focus" program. Instead, highlight how your specific degree connects to the funder's interests in weather, data, or communication. Mention any overlap with meteorology or environmental science in your application.
StrategyAvoid waiting until the final deadline. Because there are three windows (August, November, and February), it pays to apply early in the cycle to get your funding sorted before the semester peaks.
RealismAvoid treating this as a guaranteed grant. Since the selection process isn't public, treat this as a "bonus" fund rather than your primary source of tuition. Always have a backup financial plan.
