About this award
Apply by November 1 or February 1 for annual awards supporting Indigenous students across Canada in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs.
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 anywhere in Canada pursuing a career in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). You have two application deadlines to choose from: November 1 and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through a portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask DOW Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. They prioritize students who show how the money will help them and how they give back to their community through volunteering. 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.
