Michael McKiernan

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for Indigenous students seeking post-secondary funding based on financial need.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Michael McKiernan 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 a First Nations student who needs financial help to pursue your education and wants to create a better future for your community. You have three 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, a portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Michael McKiernan how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Michael McKiernan 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 Michael McKiernan whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
