About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Muskoka Brewery to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, 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 degree in business, brewing, biochemistry, or related fields and have a strong record of helping your community. Deadlines come around three times a year on August 1, November 1 and February 1, so aim for whichever one is next. 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 Muskoka Brewery how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. They consider your financial need first, but they also look at your grades and how involved you are in your community. Ask Muskoka Brewery 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 Muskoka Brewery whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
