Giant Tiger Award for Indigenous Students

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding to support your business or business-related post-secondary studies.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Giant Tiger to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, 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 in the business world. You have three different deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Giant Tiger how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Giant Tiger 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 Giant Tiger whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
