Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for this bursary supporting Indigenous students in Communications or Marketing programs across Canada.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Citizen Relations L.P. 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 communications or marketing fields. You have three 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, phone, or through an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Citizen Relations L.P. how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Citizen Relations L.P. 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 Citizen Relations L.P. whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Read the official award page end-to-end. Confirm you meet every requirement before you start.
Order through your school registrar: allow 1–2 weeks.
Double-check every field, save a copy, and submit at least 24 hours early.
The biggest mistake is focusing only on your grades.
Winners instead highlight their involvement in and contribution to the community as a whole to show they are well-rounded leaders.
The biggest mistake is providing generic letters.
Winners instead ask their referees to provide specific examples of their leadership within their Indigenous community.
The biggest mistake is ignoring the geographic preference.
If you are from Southern Ontario, Vancouver, or Montreal, make sure your home address and community ties are clear in your application.
