BASF Canada Indigenous Student Award

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding if you are an Indigenous student studying bio science, engineering, computer science, or commerce at select Canadian universities.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact BASF to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a degree in the sciences, engineering, or business at one of the participating institutions. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published in detail, though the provider prioritizes financial need along with your academic performance and how you contribute to your community. Ask BASF how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask BASF 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 BASF whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
