About this award
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact New Brunswick Community College 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 from New Brunswick who needs extra financial help to stay in school. 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 an online portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask New Brunswick Community College how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask New Brunswick Community College 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 New Brunswick Community College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Who qualifies
You qualify if you are an Indigenous student from New Brunswick with any Indigenous affiliation. You must be attending New Brunswick Community College in any program of study at any level of study. You must also show demonstrated financial need.
