Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an annual bursary supporting female Indigenous students in any academic or apprenticeship program at Conestoga College.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Canadian Federation of University Women 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 a female Indigenous student who needs financial help to continue your education. 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 an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Canadian Federation of University Women how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Canadian Federation of University Women 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 Canadian Federation of University Women 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.
Double-check every field, save a copy, and submit at least 24 hours early.
The biggest mistake is providing a vague statement about needing money.
Winners instead provide a clear budget showing exactly how the bursary will cover their tuition, books, or living costs.
List your specific gaps in funding to make your need undeniable.
The biggest mistake is using a generic character reference.
Winners instead secure letters from instructors or community leaders who can speak specifically to their perseverance and goals.
Ask your referee to provide a concrete example of your dedication to your studies.
