About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for funding if you are an Indigenous resident of Saskatchewan studying social work.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Saskatchewan Blue Cross to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student in Saskatchewan pursuing a career in social work to help improve health-related services and representation for Indigenous communities. 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, phone, or through the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Saskatchewan Blue Cross how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Saskatchewan Blue Cross 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 Saskatchewan Blue Cross whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
