About this award

Apply by November 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous youth aged 17 to 29 pursuing any undergraduate degree.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact TELUS Friendly Future Foundation 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 youth between 17 and 29 years old who is dedicated to giving back to your community and is experiencing critical financial need. Apply by November 1. 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 TELUS Friendly Future Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask TELUS Friendly Future Foundation 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 TELUS Friendly Future Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You qualify if you have any Indigenous affiliation and are between 17 and 29 years old. You must be pursuing any undergraduate degree and be experiencing critical financial need. You should also be committed to making a difference in your community.
