About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact George Blondin to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous person from the Northwest Territories who is pursuing a post-secondary education. 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 a student portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask George Blondin how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask George Blondin 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 George Blondin whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You qualify if you are an Indigenous person from the Northwest Territories with any Indigenous affiliation. You must be a full-time student at a post-secondary institution. This award is open to you regardless of your level of study or your specific program of study.

Tips for applying

IdentityAvoid providing a generic bio. Instead, share a personal story about your connection to the Northwest Territories and your Indigenous heritage to show why this specific memorial award fits you.
StrategyAvoid waiting until the final deadline. Since there are three windows (August, November, and February), try applying in the earliest window that fits your enrollment to get your funding sorted sooner.
RealismAvoid assuming the award covers full tuition. Because the exact amount isn't public, treat this as a helpful top-up rather than your primary source of funding until you confirm the value with the funder.
