About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding available to Indigenous students in their 1st or 2nd year of post-secondary study across Canada.
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. You have three different 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, 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.

Program Focus
The biggest mistake is writing a generic application.
Strategy
Winners instead highlight their specific interest in accounting or related technical fields and explain how the funding helps them complete their 1st or 2nd year of study.
References
The biggest mistake is providing vague character references.
Strategy
Winners instead use referees who can speak to their academic persistence and their connection to their Indigenous community.
Strategy
The biggest mistake is waiting until the final deadline.
Strategy
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.
