About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous post-secondary students with financial need.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Hudbay Minerals Inc. 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 an Indigenous student who needs financial help to continue your post-secondary education. 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 Hudbay Minerals Inc. how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Hudbay Minerals Inc. 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 Hudbay Minerals Inc. whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You can apply if you are a post-secondary student with any Indigenous affiliation and can demonstrate financial need. You can be at any level of study. While the award is open to various fields, preference will be given to students from Northern Manitoba who are studying in academic programs related to the mining industry. Eligible programs include engineering, skilled trades and technology, environment, environmental science, business administration, geology, or health and safety.
