About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an annual award supporting Indigenous students with financial need, especially those in STEM.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Pratt & Whitney 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 are an Indigenous student who needs financial help to afford your post-secondary education. 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 — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Pratt & Whitney Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Pratt & Whitney 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 Pratt & Whitney Canada whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
