Eastern College Inc. Indigenous Student Bursary

About this award

Get $4,000 for your education costs if you are an Indigenous student in a diploma program at Eastern College — 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 and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a career-focused diploma. You have three different deadlines to apply: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — before you start your application, check Eastern College's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back about your status. 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're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Eastern College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
