About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Indspire (the organization that administers this award) 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 pursuing a career in engineering at the University of New Brunswick. You have three potential deadlines to meet: August 1, November 1, or February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, a portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Indspire how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Indspire 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. To keep this award, you must remain enrolled full-time and maintain a 3.7 GPA. Because this is a renewal scholarship, you must reapply each year to be considered for continued funding.

Who qualifies

You qualify for this award if you have any Indigenous affiliation and are enrolled full-time in the undergraduate engineering program at the University of New Brunswick. To renew the scholarship in subsequent years, you must maintain a 3.7 GPA.

Tips for applying

• StrategySince there are three separate deadlines (August 1, November 1, and February 1), do not wait until the final date of the year. Submit your materials for the earliest possible window to increase your visibility with the selection committee.
• RealismThis is a highly specific award for engineering students only. If you are in a different program at UNB, your chances are zero; look for general Indigenous awards through Indspire (the national charity that provides educational funding for Indigenous students) instead.
