Kaatza Foundation Award

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary to help cover your post-secondary education costs.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Kaatza Foundation 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 demonstrated financial need who is pursuing a post-secondary education. 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 — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Kaatza Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Kaatza Foundation 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 Kaatza Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
