About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for funding available to Indigenous students in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Capital Power 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 identify as Indigenous and want to bring your unique expertise and talent into the clean energy industry. Deadlines come around three times a year on August 1, November 1 and February 1, so aim for whichever one is next. 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 Capital Power how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Capital Power 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 Capital Power whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You qualify if you have any Indigenous affiliation and live in one of the provinces where Capital Power operates: Alberta (AB), British Columbia (BC), or Ontario (ON). This award is open to you regardless of your program of study or your level of study.
