About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a scholarship supporting Indigenous students in any program or level of study.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Securian Canada to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a post-secondary education to reach your full potential. 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 Securian Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Securian 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 Securian Canada whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
