About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary to help cover your post-secondary education costs if you are an Indigenous student with financial need.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact iA Financial Group 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 identify as Indigenous and need extra financial support to help pay for your schooling. 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 iA Financial Group how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask iA Financial Group 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 iA Financial Group whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

More details

Financial Need

The biggest mistake is providing a vague statement about needing money.

Strategy

Winners instead provide a clear budget showing exactly where their funding gaps are and how this bursary fills them.

Support

The biggest mistake is using a generic character reference.

Strategy

Winners instead secure letters from community leaders or teachers who can specifically vouch for their Indigenous identity and their commitment to their studies.

Strategy

The biggest mistake is applying only once.

Strategy

Since there are three separate deadlines (August 1, November 1, and February 1), you should track each window and re-apply if the provider allows it.
