Sobeys Award
About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding available to 3rd-year Indigenous students in pharmacy, STEM, or business programs. Apply through Indspire's central Building Brighter Futures program — one application covers all sponsor pools.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Sobeys Capital Incorporated to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student entering your 3rd year of post-secondary study in a specialized field like healthcare, technology, or commerce. You have three different deadlines to meet: August 1, November 1, or February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Sobeys Capital Incorporated how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Sobeys Capital Incorporated 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 Sobeys Capital Incorporated whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain. How to apply: This funding is administered through Indspire's Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships program. Students complete one central application that's evaluated against all 360+ of Indspire's funding pools (including this one) — you don't apply to the sponsor directly. The Apply button on this page routes to Indspire's portal automatically. For the full program description, all three application deadlines, and detailed eligibility, see Indspire Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships on FundMyCourse.
