Forgirlsake Scholarship Award for Indigenous Women

About this award

Get up to $2,500 for your post-secondary studies if you are an Indigenous woman in Canada — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.

You can receive a maximum individual scholarship award of $2,500. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous woman in Canada who is pursuing a post-secondary education and wants to make a difference in your community. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check Forgirlsake, Inc.'s program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. Selection criteria aren't published beyond the focus on financial need, community contribution, and academic merit — ask Forgirlsake, Inc. how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Forgirlsake, Inc. 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 Forgirlsake, Inc. whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
