About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for a bursary supporting FNMI students attending post-secondary institutions in Ontario.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Accenture to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. 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 attending school in Ontario and can show that you have a financial need for help with your education 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 how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through a portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Accenture how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Accenture 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 Accenture whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
