Pro-Metal, "Every Child Matters" Bursary

What you will need

About this award

You can receive a $2,500 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student attending a local educational institution anywhere in Canada. You must apply by October 31, 2026. When you apply, ask First Nations University of Canada how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask First Nations University of Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask First Nations University 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 First Nations University of Canada whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain, though the award is described as an annual bursary.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student enrolled at a local educational institution across Canada.

Tips for applying

• ApplicationAvoid submitting a generic application. Instead, share how this support helps you in your academic journey as a descendant of residential school survivors or a member of the Indigenous community. Mention your specific goals and how they connect to your heritage.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is the only source of funding you need. Instead, look for other bursaries that target Indigenous students to build a full financial plan. Combine this with other grants to cover your entire tuition and living cost.
