About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Parachute Executive Coaching 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 student from any across Canada who is preparing to take on a leadership role in your community or profession. 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 through the Indspire portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Parachute Executive Coaching how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Parachute Executive Coaching 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 Parachute Executive Coaching whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student from across Canada with any Indigenous affiliation. You can be at any level of study and attending any post-secondary institution. While any program is eligible, you have a better chance if you are studying business administration, leadership, finance, accounting, or marketing.
