About this award

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 pursuing a future in science and technology. 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 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.
