About this award
Get financial support for your post-secondary studies if you are an Indigenous student — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact University of St. Michael’s College to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a grant, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing higher education while managing financial challenges. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published, though the provider considers your financial need, your academic performance, and how you contribute to your community. Ask University of St. Michael’s College how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask University of St. Michael’s 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 University of St. Michael’s College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
