South Dundas Windfarm Limited Partnership (South Branch Wind Farm) Indigenous Student Bursary
About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary to help cover your education costs if you are an Indigenous student studying wind or renewable energy. Apply through Indspire's central Building Brighter Futures program — one application covers all sponsor pools.
The provider does not post a fixed dollar amount — contact South Dundas Windfarm 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 the green energy sector, specifically focusing on wind or renewable energy. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through a portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask South Dundas Windfarm how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. They will select one (1) female and one (1) male Indigenous student. Ask South Dundas Windfarm 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 are counting on this for multiple years, confirm with South Dundas Windfarm whether it is 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.
