About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for this bursary supporting Indigenous students in any post-secondary program across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Jones DesLauriers Insurance Management 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 identifies with any Indigenous affiliation and wants to pursue higher 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 an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Jones DesLauriers Insurance Management Inc. how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. They consider demonstrated financial need as the main factor, but they may also look at your academic performance and how you contribute to your community. Ask Jones DesLauriers Insurance Management 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 Jones DesLauriers Insurance Management Inc. whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
