About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for one of 20 scholarships supporting Indigenous students at any level of post-secondary study.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount for these awards — contact Cheekbone Beauty to confirm the value for your specific scholarship 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 identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a post-secondary education to ignite change in your life and reach your aspirations. 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 an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Cheekbone Beauty how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds, though they have a goal of issuing 20 scholarships. Ask Cheekbone Beauty 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 Cheekbone Beauty whether it's a one-time award or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You qualify if you have any Indigenous affiliation. This award is open to you regardless of your program of study or your level of study, as any level and any program are eligible.
