Grand River Agricultural Society Scholarship

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a scholarship supporting Indigenous students from Ontario studying agriculture or the environment.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Grand River Agricultural Society 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 are an Indigenous student from Ontario who is passionate about farming, nature, or protecting the planet. 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. Winners are chosen primarily based on academic merit and performance, though the committee may also look at how you contribute to your community. Selection criteria aren't published in detail — ask Grand River Agricultural Society how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Grand River Agricultural Society 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 Grand River Agricultural Society whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
