Coast Capital Indigenous Student Bursary

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students living or studying in British Columbia.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Coast Capital Savings Federal Credit Union to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing post-secondary education while living or studying in British Columbia. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Coast Capital Savings Federal Credit Union how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Coast Capital Savings Federal Credit Union 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 Coast Capital Savings Federal Credit Union whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
