About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Herma Neyndorff 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 a career in healthcare through a nursing program. Deadlines come around three times a year on August 1, November 1 and February 1, so aim for whichever one is next. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Herma Neyndorff how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Herma Neyndorff 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 Herma Neyndorff whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student attending a post-secondary institution anywhere in Canada. You must be enrolled in a nursing program, and this includes both two-year and four-year programs. While anyone meeting these criteria can apply, preference will be given to students from British Columbia. The main factor for selection is demonstrated financial need, though the committee may also look at your academic performance and how you contribute to your community.
