About this award

You will receive a $500 scholarship. This is a grant, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a high-achieving student from Nunavut transitioning from high school to post-secondary education. No specific application deadline is posted for the scholarship itself, but you must apply for FANS (Financial Assistance for Nunavut Students — the territory's main student aid program) at least 8 weeks before your program ends. Since you must be a FANS recipient to get this scholarship, check the FANS program page or call 1-877-860-0680 to confirm the current intake dates. Selection is based on your academic records. You must submit your transcripts to the FANS office for assessment to prove your grades. Ask Government of Nunavut - Financial Assistance for Nunavut Students (FANS) how many of these awards are given out each year so you can judge your odds. The money is sent to you via direct deposit. Confirm with Government of Nunavut - Financial Assistance for Nunavut Students (FANS) during your application exactly how the direct deposit is scheduled. To keep this award, you must be enrolled as a full-time student and be receiving FANS support. Renewal conditions for the scholarship aren't listed because this specific Grade 12 award is a one-time payment, but confirm with Government of Nunavut - Financial Assistance for Nunavut Students (FANS) if there are other academic bonuses you can earn each year.
