About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for funding available to Indigenous students attending post-secondary institutions across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact TJX Canada | WINNERS, HomeSense and Marshalls 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 attending a post-secondary institution in Canada, especially if you are balancing your studies while supporting dependents. You can apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask TJX Canada | WINNERS, HomeSense and Marshalls how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask TJX Canada | WINNERS, HomeSense and Marshalls 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 TJX Canada | WINNERS, HomeSense and Marshalls whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student (First Nation, Inuit, or Métis) attending a post-secondary institution across Canada. While open to various fields, preference is given to those enrolled in business, fashion, retail, or humanities programs (including accounting, marketing, communications, and human resources). Priority is given to students with dependents. The main factor for selection is demonstrated financial need, though the committee also considers your academic merit, performance, and community involvement or contributions.
