Seven Generations Energy
About this award
Get financial support for your post-secondary education costs if you are an Indigenous student from specific Alberta settlements or nations — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Seven Generations Energy 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 attending a post-secondary institution who needs help covering the costs of your education. You have three 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 Seven Generations Energy how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Seven Generations Energy 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 Seven Generations Energy whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
