About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for an annual award supporting Indigenous students in any post-secondary program across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — 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 provider has a strong focus on students in Business, Computer Science, Journalism, Environmental Science, Meteorology, Advertising & Marketing.
