About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Kinross Gold 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 an Indigenous woman from Treaty 3 Ontario who is passionate about improving health outcomes or protecting the environment. 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 Kinross Gold how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Kinross Gold 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 Kinross Gold whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be a female student from Treaty 3 Ontario with any Indigenous affiliation. You can be at any level of post-secondary study, provided your program of study is in Health/Medical or Environmental Studies.

Tips for applying

StrategyAvoid waiting until the final deadline to apply. Since there are three windows (August, November, and February), try to apply in the earliest one possible to get your funding sorted before the term starts.
RealismAvoid assuming this is the only source of funding. Instead, combine this bursary with other Indspire (the organization that manages Indigenous student funding) awards to cover your full cost of attendance.
