Teck Energy Bursaries for Indigenous Students
About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for one of eight bursaries available to Indigenous students from the Mikisew Cree or Athabasca Chipewyan First Nations. 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 Teck Frontier Energy Corporation 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 belonging to the Mikisew Cree First Nation or the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Teck Frontier Energy Corporation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. There are four bursaries for Indigenous students from the Mikisew Cree First Nation and four bursaries for Indigenous students from the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation. Ask Teck Frontier Energy Corporation 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 Teck Frontier Energy Corporation 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.

More details
The biggest mistake is giving a generic description of your background.
Winners instead provide specific details about their connection to the Mikisew Cree or Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation and how the funding supports their goals.
The biggest mistake is submitting references that only speak to your grades.
Winners instead use referees who can vouch for their community involvement and leadership within their First Nation.
The biggest mistake is waiting until the final deadline.
Since there are three separate windows (August 1, November 1, and February 1), apply during the earliest one that fits your schedule to increase your visibility.
