Amina Pokrant Awards for Female Indigenous Students and Davetter Awards for Indigenous Students

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for annual funding to help cover your education costs if you are an Indigenous student in STEM or health.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Dan Vetter to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As these are awards, 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 studies in science, technology, engineering, math, or health and can show you have financial need. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check Dan Vetter's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Dan Vetter how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Dan Vetter 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 Dan Vetter whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
