About this award
Get $4,000 for your diploma program at triOS College if you are an Indigenous student with financial need — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.
You can receive a bursary of $4,000 to help pay for your education. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and need extra financial support to afford your schooling. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask triOS College how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or a student portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask triOS College how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask triOS College 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 are counting on this for multiple years, confirm with triOS College whether it is a one-time payment or renewable and what you need to maintain.
