About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for funding available to Indigenous students in trades, engineering, or business programs.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Wajax Limited to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship or 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 are pursuing a career in heavy industry, business, or engineering. 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 how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the Indspire portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Wajax Limited how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Wajax Limited 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 Wajax Limited whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
