About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for one of five engineering awards for Indigenous students in Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Nutrien 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 in Canada studying engineering who needs financial help to cover your education costs. 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 application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Nutrien how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. They will distribute 5 awards specifically to students in engineering. Ask Nutrien 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 Nutrien whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You qualify if you have any Indigenous affiliation and are attending a post-secondary institution in Canada.
