About this award
Get $4,400 for your education if you are an Indigenous student in your second year or beyond of a university program in business, arts, science, forestry, or engineering.
You can receive a $4,400 bursary to help with your education costs. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and have shown strong leadership through your grades, your activities outside of class, or your volunteer work. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask Indspire (the organization managing the fund) how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or through their portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Procter Gamble how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Procter Gamble 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 Procter Gamble whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Winners instead describe the specific impact they had, such as how many people they led or what project they finished.
Give a concrete example of a time you took charge.
The biggest mistake is providing a generic character reference.
Winners instead use referees who can speak specifically to their leadership in volunteerism or academics.
Ask your referee to mention a specific instance where you showed initiative.
