Indigenous Bar Association (IBA) Scholarship

About this award

Get funding to attend the annual fall conference and a certificate of recognition—apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount for the main award, but you will receive funds directly from the IBA (the Indigenous Bar Association — a national professional organization for Indigenous legal professionals) to attend their annual fall conference. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing a career in law and want to connect with other legal professionals. You can apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. Three scholarships will be awarded. Selection criteria aren't published — ask the IBA (the Indigenous Bar Association) how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask the IBA (the Indigenous Bar Association) 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 the IBA (the Indigenous Bar Association) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
