About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Amiskusees: Semaganis Worme Family Foundation 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 pursuing a law degree who has a demonstrated 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 an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Amiskusees: Semaganis Worme Family Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Amiskusees: Semaganis Worme Family Foundation 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 Amiskusees: Semaganis Worme Family Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

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.

Support

Avoid using a generic character reference.

Instead, secure letters from faculty or community leaders who can speak specifically to your resilience and commitment to the legal profession.

Strategy

Avoid waiting until the final deadline.

Since there are three windows (August, November, and February), try applying in the earliest cycle to increase your chances of securing funds before they are exhausted.
