Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding and potential paid internships if you are an Indigenous student in BC, Quebec, or Alberta.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact BDO Canada LLP 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 are an Indigenous student pursuing a professional path in business, law, or technology and want to build a connection with a national professional services firm. You have three different deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, or February 1. 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 BDO Canada LLP how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask BDO Canada LLP 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 BDO Canada LLP whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Read the official award page end-to-end. Confirm you meet every requirement before you start.
Check the official source for the current deadline: save a copy and submit at least 24 hours early.
The biggest mistake is writing a generic essay about why you need money.
Winners instead explain exactly how their degree in accounting, finance, technology, law, administration, or HR connects to their goals and the needs of their community.
Detail your specific career ambitions in these fields.
The biggest mistake is providing a basic character reference.
Winners instead secure letters from community leaders or professors who can speak to their leadership within Indigenous communities and their academic discipline.
Get a referee who knows your cultural contributions.
