About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — 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.
