About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Sedgman Canada Limited 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 pursuing a career in technical or business fields and can show that you need financial help to finish your studies. 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, though the provider considers your financial need, your academic performance, and how you contribute to your community. Ask Sedgman Canada Limited how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Sedgman Canada Limited 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 Sedgman Canada Limited whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You qualify if you have any Indigenous affiliation and are attending a post-secondary institution anywhere in Canada. You can be at any level of study, provided your program is in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), engineering, finance, payroll, accountancy, or HR (Human Resources). While you can apply regardless of your specific Indigenous group, you must show demonstrated financial need, as this is the main factor the committee uses to pick winners.
