Build Nova Scotia: Boat Harbour Remediation Project · National
Reclaiming A’se’k Science and Technology Scholarship
About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a scholarship supporting students from Pictou Landing First Nation studying STEM. Apply through Indspire's central Building Brighter Futures program — one application covers all sponsor pools.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Build Nova Scotia: Boat Harbour Remediation Project 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 are a member of the Pictou Landing First Nation and want to pursue a career in science or technology to help reclaim and protect the environment. 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 Build Nova Scotia: Boat Harbour Remediation Project how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Build Nova Scotia: Boat Harbour Remediation Project 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 Build Nova Scotia: Boat Harbour Remediation Project whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain. How to apply: This funding is administered through Indspire's Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships program. Students complete one central application that's evaluated against all 360+ of Indspire's funding pools (including this one) — you don't apply to the sponsor directly. The Apply button on this page routes to Indspire's portal automatically. For the full program description, all three application deadlines, and detailed eligibility, see Indspire Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships on FundMyCourse.
