About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Shell Canada to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As these are scholarships, the 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 post-secondary education, especially if you live in a community near Shell operations or are studying a field relevant to the oil and gas sector. 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 Shell Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Shell 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 Shell Canada whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation. You can be at any level of study. You must be enrolled, or planning to enroll, in a qualified program in Canada. This includes general education diplomas, diploma and certificate programs in oil and gas, trades and technology fields, applied diploma or degree programs, academic upgrading or preparation, pre-trades training, apprenticeship education programs, and pre-employment training. While open to many fields, there is a strong preference for those in oil and gas, trades, and technology. Additionally, the scholarship focuses primarily on Business, Engineering, Geosciences, Environmental Studies, and Commerce (including Human Resources, Finance, Accounting, Energy Marketing, and Economics). Priority is given to Indigenous students from communities located near Shell operations.
