Canadian Public Relations Society Foundation Scholarship

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an annual scholarship for Indigenous students in Canada with demonstrated financial need.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Canadian Public Relations Society Foundation 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 from anywhere in Canada who needs financial help to cover your education costs. 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 — ask Canadian Public Relations Society Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Canadian Public Relations Society Foundation 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 Public Relations Society Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
