Norton Rose Fulbright Award for Indigenous Students

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding for Indigenous students studying law at any post-secondary institution across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Norton Rose Fulbright to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing a law degree and can show that you need financial help to cover your education costs. 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 — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Norton Rose Fulbright how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Norton Rose Fulbright 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 Norton Rose Fulbright whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
