About this award

You can receive a bursary of $4,000 to help cover your education costs. 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 student with any Indigenous affiliation who has a demonstrated financial need for help with school costs. 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 triOS College how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through an application 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're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with triOS College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation. You must be attending any Diploma Program at triOS College and show that you have a demonstrated financial need for contribution to your education costs.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing a vague statement about needing money. Instead, provide a clear budget showing exactly how the $4,000 will bridge the gap between your current funds and the cost of your diploma program.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the final deadline. Since there are three windows (August 1, November 1, and February 1), apply during the earliest window that fits your enrollment to increase your chances of securing funds before they run out.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is the only source of funding. Instead, combine this bursary with other Indspire (the national Indigenous education funding organization) grants to fully cover your tuition and living expenses.
