About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Superior Propane 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 and can show that you have a financial need for help with your education costs. 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, phone, or through an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Superior Propane how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Superior Propane 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 Superior Propane whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must also show demonstrated financial need. These awards are open to students from coast to coast to coast across Canada for any level of study and any program of study. However, for the Corporate Bursaries, you must be studying Business, Education, or trades and be from a Superior Propane community.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing a vague statement about needing money. Instead, provide a detailed breakdown of your tuition gaps and living expenses to prove your financial need. List your specific shortfall in dollars.
• StrategyAvoid ignoring the three different deadlines. Instead, treat each deadline as a fresh opportunity to refine your application based on your current academic standing. Mark all three dates in your calendar.
• RealismAvoid assuming the award is guaranteed because you meet the basic criteria. Instead, recognize that with only twelve Corporate and two Regional bursaries available annually, the competition is high. Apply for multiple bursaries to increase your chances.
