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 funding available to Indigenous students in high school or post-secondary programs focusing on science, technology, engineering, math, and 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 based on financial need, 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 that you need financial help to cover your education costs. You have three application deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, a portal, or phone. 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.
