About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact St. Andrew s United Church 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 with demonstrated financial need who is currently pursuing a post-secondary education. You have two application deadlines to choose from: November 1 and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through a portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask St. Andrew s United Church how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask St. Andrew s United Church 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 St. Andrew s United Church 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 in any program of study at any level of study, provided you are attending a post-secondary institution such as a college, university, technical college, or apprenticeship program. You must show demonstrated financial need. While open to all qualifying students, preference will be given to you if you are studying in Toronto.
