Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous undergraduates in engineering, planning, or environmental and social sciences.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Dillon Consulting 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 a First Nation, Inuit or Métis student pursuing a degree in a technical field that helps protect the environment or build infrastructure. 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, phone, or through the Indspire portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Dillon Consulting how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Dillon Consulting 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 Dillon Consulting 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.
Double-check every field, save a copy, and submit at least 24 hours early.
The biggest mistake is writing a generic essay about needing money.
Winners instead explain exactly why their specific program in engineering, planning, or environmental and social sciences matters to their community.
Describe a real-world problem you want to solve with your degree.
The biggest mistake is providing a basic character reference.
Winners instead secure letters from professors or community leaders who can vouch for their technical aptitude and their connection to their Indigenous community.
The biggest mistake is applying only once.
