DOW ULC awards

About this award

Apply by November 1 or February 1 for an annual award supporting Indigenous students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) programs across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact DOW Canada 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 career in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). You have two deadlines to choose from: November 1 and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check DOW Canada's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. Selection criteria aren't published beyond a preference for those who show how the money helps them and how they volunteer in their community — ask DOW Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask DOW Canada 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 DOW Canada whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
