About this award
Get financial support for your education costs if you are an Indigenous student—apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Power Corporation of Canada to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and need extra money to help cover the costs of your post-secondary education. You have three different deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Power Corporation of Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Power Corporation of Canada 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 Power Corporation of Canada whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain, though the award is distributed annually.

More details
The biggest mistake is providing a vague statement about needing money.
Winners instead provide a clear budget showing exactly where their funding gaps are and how this award fills those holes.
The biggest mistake is using a generic reference letter.
Winners instead ask their referees to give specific examples of their resilience and community involvement.
The biggest mistake is waiting until the final deadline.
Since there are three windows (August 1, November 1, and February 1), try to apply for the earliest one that fits your school start date to get your funding sorted sooner.
