Linda Ganly Award

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an annual award supporting female undergraduate students with financial need, especially those studying Indigenous or Fine Arts.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Indspire (the organization that manages this funding) to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a woman pursuing a degree and have a strong connection to Indigenous arts or a deep commitment to volunteering within the Indigenous community. You can apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1. 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 Indspire how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Indspire 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 Indspire whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
