About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students in any post-secondary program across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Avenue Living 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 shows an entrepreneurial spirit in your own life and is working to build a better future for yourself and your community. 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 Avenue Living how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Avenue Living 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 Avenue Living whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation attending a post-secondary institution across Canada. This includes any level of study at a college, university, technical college, or apprenticeship program. You can be in any program of study, though first preference will be given to students enrolled in Business programs. While the provider primarily considers demonstrated financial need, they may also look at your academic merit, performance, and how you contribute to your community.
