EY Indigenous Futures Award

About this award

Get renewable funding for any level of post-secondary study if you are an Indigenous student — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact EY Canada 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. You may be able to receive this funding throughout your entire post-secondary career because the award is renewable. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a post-secondary education in Canada. 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 application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask EY Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask EY 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 EY Canada what you need to maintain to keep the funding.
