About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact PwC Canada 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 career in accounting or other technical fields. 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 PwC Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask PwC Canada 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 PwC Canada 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 anywhere in Canada. You must be in the 1st year or 2nd year of your program. While the award focuses on those studying accounting, it is also open to students in Business/Commerce, Economics, Technology, Engineering, Science, or Math.

Avoid writing a generic application.

Instead, highlight your specific interest in accounting or related technical fields and explain how the funding helps you complete your 1st or 2nd year of study.

References

Avoid providing vague character references.

Instead, use referees who can speak to your academic persistence and your connection to your Indigenous community.

Strategy

Avoid waiting until the final deadline.

Since there are three windows (August, November, and February), try to apply during the earliest one that fits your enrollment status to get your funding sorted sooner.
