About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Deloitte 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 from across Canada pursuing a post-secondary education, especially if you are focusing on business, finance, or accounting. 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 Deloitte how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Deloitte 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 Deloitte whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student from across Canada attending a post-secondary institution. This award is open to you regardless of your specific Indigenous affiliation or your level of study. While any program is eligible, you will have a better chance if you are studying business administration, finance, or accounting.

Program Focus

Avoid writing a generic application.

Instead, highlight why you chose business, finance, or accounting and how those specific skills will help your community.

Mention your specific career goals in these fields to match the provider's preferences.

Support

Many students only provide a basic transcript.

Instead, include letters from mentors or professors who can speak to your leadership potential and commitment to your studies.

Strategy

Since there are three deadlines throughout the year, do not wait until the final one.
