No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact The Small Gosling Family 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 with any Indigenous affiliation who is pursuing a degree or certificate in Computer Science and can show you have financial need. 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 application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask The Small Gosling Family how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. They consider your financial need primarily, but they also look at your academic performance and how you contribute to your community. Ask The Small Gosling Family 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 Small Gosling Family whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
You must be an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation attending a post-secondary institution across Canada, such as a college, university, technical college, or apprenticeship program. You must be enrolled in a Computer Science program and demonstrate financial need. While anyone meeting these criteria can apply, preference is given to students from the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon.
