Manuel and Cheryl Buchwald – Anna Myles Bursary

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an annual bursary supporting Indigenous students at any level of post-secondary study who show financial need.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Manuel and Cheryl Buchwald 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 attending a post-secondary institution and can show that you have a genuine financial need for funding. You have three different deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. 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 Manuel and Cheryl Buchwald how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. They consider financial need as the main factor, but they may also look at your academic merit and how you contribute to your community. Ask Manuel and Cheryl Buchwald 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 Manuel and Cheryl Buchwald whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
