About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting students from Rankin Inlet pursuing careers in the medical field.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact The Fuller Family 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 live in Rankin Inlet and want to enter the medical field to help others in your community. You have three different 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 The Fuller Family Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask The Fuller Family 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 The Fuller Family Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

More details
The biggest mistake is writing a generic essay about wanting to go to college.
Winners instead explain exactly why they want to enter the health professions and how they plan to use their medical training to serve their community.
The biggest mistake is providing references who only know you socially.
Winners instead use teachers or local healthcare workers in Rankin Inlet who can vouch for your academic discipline and your commitment to the medical field.
The biggest mistake is waiting until the final deadline to apply.
Since there are three separate windows (August 1, November 1, and February 1), you should aim for the earliest one to show you are organized and proactive.
