About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact CGI Canada 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 pursuing a career in the tech or business sectors and want to connect with industry leaders. 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 CGI Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask CGI Canada 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 CGI Canada whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must have any Indigenous affiliation and be a student from Ontario or Quebec. You must be enrolled in a program of study for Computer Science or Business at any level of study. Additionally, you must attend a post-secondary institution where CGI (a global IT and business consulting firm) has a connection.
