About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Church of St. Clement 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 attending a post-secondary institution and can show that you have a financial need for extra funding. 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 Church of St. Clement how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Church of St. Clement 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 Church of St. Clement whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation. You can be at any level of study and attending any post-secondary institution. You must have demonstrated financial need. While any program is eligible, preference is given to students studying in the social sciences, such as psychology, counselling, or social work.
