About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact AbbVie Corporation 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 living in Montreal or Markham who is pursuing a career in healthcare or general science. 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 application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask AbbVie Corporation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. They consider your financial need as the main factor, but they also look at your academic performance and how you contribute to your community. Ask AbbVie Corporation 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 AbbVie Corporation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You qualify if you are an Indigenous student based out of Montreal or Markham. You must be attending a post-secondary institution across Canada, which includes a college, university, technical college, or apprenticeship program. You must be enrolled in a healthcare or general science program and show demonstrated financial need for help with your education costs.

More details

Financial Need

Avoid providing a vague statement about needing money.

Instead, provide a detailed breakdown of your tuition gaps and living expenses to prove exactly why the funding is necessary.

Community Leadership

Many applicants simply list their volunteer roles.

Instead, describe the specific impact you had on your community and how those experiences shaped your desire to enter healthcare or science.

Strategy

Since there are three separate deadlines, do not wait until the final one in February.

Applying in the earliest window may increase your chances if funds are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
