Grainger Canada Bursary

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students entering post-secondary study in the skilled trades.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Grainger 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 a First Nations, Inuit, or Métis student starting your post-secondary education, especially if you are pursuing a career in the skilled trades. 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 Grainger Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Grainger 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 Grainger Canada whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
