Guardian Capital Indigenous Student Awards

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding to support your post-secondary studies if you identify as Indigenous.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Guardian Capital Group Limited 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 pursuing higher education and can show that you need financial help to succeed. You have three different deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check Guardian Capital Group Limited'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 involvement, and academic merit — ask Guardian Capital Group Limited how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Guardian Capital Group Limited 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 Guardian Capital Group Limited whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
