Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for annual bursaries supporting full-time Indigenous students in their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year at Mount Allison University.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Mount Allison University 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 with any Indigenous affiliation who is currently navigating the costs of your upper-year undergraduate studies. You have three different deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, a student portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published in detail, though the university prioritizes demonstrated financial need. Other factors like your academic merit, performance, and how you contribute to your community may also be considered. Ask Mount Allison University how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Mount Allison University 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. These bursaries may be renewed, but you must reapply. Renewal conditions aren't listed in full — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Mount Allison University what specific requirements you need to maintain to stay eligible.
Read the official award page end-to-end. Confirm you meet every requirement before you start.
Double-check every field, save a copy, and submit at least 24 hours early.
The biggest mistake is providing a vague summary of your expenses.
Winners instead provide a detailed breakdown of their tuition gaps and living costs to prove exactly why the funding is needed.
List every specific cost you are struggling to cover.
The biggest mistake is submitting a generic reference letter.
Winners instead secure letters that specifically highlight their "contribution to the community as a whole," as this is a secondary selection factor.
Ask your referee to give a concrete example of your leadership.
