Peter Lukasiewicz/Gowling WLG Indigenous Bursary

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for this bursary supporting Indigenous students in accredited post-secondary programs across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Gowling WLG 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 pursuing a post-secondary education, especially if you are passionate about law and justice. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Gowling WLG how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Gowling WLG 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 Gowling WLG whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
