Midwest Surveys Indigenous Education Bursary

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for one of two annual bursaries supporting Indigenous students in Geomatics and related disciplines.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Midwest 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 pursuing a post-secondary education in Geomatics and related disciplines who demonstrates financial need and a commitment to your community. You have three application 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 portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Midwest how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. They provide two (2) bursaries annually based on financial need, community involvement, and academic merit. Ask Midwest 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 Midwest whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
