About this award

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. 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 need extra financial support to cover your education costs while attending a post-secondary institution. 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, a 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.

Who qualifies
