The Indigeno Traveler’s Path Scholarship
About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting First Nations students from Winnipeg studying travel and tourism. Apply through Indspire's central Building Brighter Futures program — one application covers all sponsor pools.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Indigeno Travel 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 a First Nations student from Winnipeg who wants to build a career in the travel industry. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check Indigeno Travel's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Indigeno Travel how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Indigeno Travel 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 Indigeno Travel whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain. How to apply: This funding is administered through Indspire's Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships program. Students complete one central application that's evaluated against all 360+ of Indspire's funding pools (including this one) — you don't apply to the sponsor directly. The Apply button on this page routes to Indspire's portal automatically. For the full program description, all three application deadlines, and detailed eligibility, see Indspire Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships on FundMyCourse.
