EY Indigenous Futures Award

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a renewable bursary supporting Indigenous students in STEM, business, or Indigenous languages.

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. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing post-secondary education, particularly those focusing on Indigenous languages or professional fields like business and science. You can apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. 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. This award is renewable, providing the potential to be continued throughout your post-secondary career. Confirm with EY Canada what you need to maintain to keep the funding each year.
