CAED Resilience Bursary

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding if you are an Indigenous student studying youth mental health, psychology, or environmental sciences.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact CAED Fund 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 dedicated to improving youth mental health or protecting the environment through your studies. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask CAED Fund how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask CAED Fund 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 CAED Fund whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
