ATB Financial Bursary

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students attending post-secondary institutions across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact ATB Financial 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 who is balancing your education with a commitment to your community. You can apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask ATB Financial how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask ATB Financial 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 ATB Financial whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
