About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact LNG Canada 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 from the Gitga’at First Nation, Gitxaala Nation, Haisla First Nation, Kitsumkalum First Nation, Kitselas First Nation, Lax Kw’alaams Band, Metlakatla First Nation, or the Métis Nation of BC who needs help paying for 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, a portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask LNG Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask LNG Canada 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 LNG Canada whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
