iA Financial Group Indigenous Bursary

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students attending post-secondary institutions in Canada.

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 are an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation who has a demonstrated financial need for help with education costs. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through an application portal. 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.
