About this award
Apply by August 1 for a scholarship supporting Indigenous students from Alberta or British Columbia in fields like engineering, business, and science.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Trans Mountain Canada Inc. to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student from Alberta or British Columbia who wants to pursue a career in industries like energy, environment, or law. You must apply by August 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Trans Mountain Canada Inc. how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Trans Mountain Canada Inc. 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 Trans Mountain Canada Inc. whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
