About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — 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 and a member of either the Mikisew Cree First Nation or the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation. 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 the application portal. 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 eight awards in total: four for members of the Mikisew Cree First Nation and four for members of 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.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student from either the Mikisew Cree First Nation or the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation. This award is open to you regardless of your program of study and any level of post-secondary education.

Tips for applying

IdentityAvoid providing a generic statement about your heritage. Instead, share specific stories about your connection to the Mikisew Cree or Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation and how the award helps you serve your community.
StrategyAvoid waiting until the final deadline to apply. Since there are three windows (August, November, and February), try applying in the earliest cycle to increase your chances of securing one of the eight spots.
RealismAvoid assuming this is a general Indigenous award. Because it is strictly limited to two specific First Nations, your odds are much higher if you meet those criteria, but you cannot apply if you are from a different nation.
