Get $4,000 for your diploma program at Eastern College if you are an Indigenous student with financial need — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.
You can receive a bursary of $4,000 to help cover your education costs. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you identify as an Indigenous student and need extra financial support to complete your career training. You have three different deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask Eastern College how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Eastern College how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Eastern College 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 are counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Eastern College whether it is a one-time award 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 providing a vague statement about needing money.
Winners instead provide a clear, honest breakdown of their monthly expenses and gaps in funding.
List your specific costs to show exactly why the $4,000 is needed.
Many students forget to include letters from community leaders or elders.
Winners use these references to validate their identity and community ties.
Get a signed letter that confirms your connection to your community.
