About this award
Flexible financial support for one or more Indigenous students in any post-secondary program — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.
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 an Indigenous student seeking flexible funding to help cover your educational costs. 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 the application portal. 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.
