Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for flexible financial support available to one or more Indigenous students in any post-secondary program.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Mawer Investment Management Ltd. 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 are pursuing a post-secondary education. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Mawer Investment Management Ltd. how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Mawer Investment Management Ltd. 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 Mawer Investment Management Ltd. whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Read the official award page end-to-end. Confirm you meet every requirement before you start.
Double-check every field, save a copy, and submit at least 24 hours early.
