The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Len Flett 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 cover your education costs while attending school. 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 the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Len Flett how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Len Flett 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 Len Flett whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
You qualify if you have any Indigenous affiliation and are attending a post-secondary institution, such as a college, university, technical college, or apprenticeship program. This award is open to any program of study at any level of study, provided you can show demonstrated financial need.
