NorQuest College Building Brighter Futures Bursary

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an annual bursary supporting Indigenous students in any foundational or career program at NorQuest College.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact NorQuest 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 a person of Indigenous Heritage—including First Nation status or non-status, Métis, or Inuit—who is pursuing a foundational or career program. 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 beyond the focus on financial need, though the college also looks at your academic merit and how you contribute to your community. Ask NorQuest College how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask NorQuest 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 NorQuest College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
