Rick George Family Foundation

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for annual funding available to Indigenous undergraduate and graduate students.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Rick George Family Foundation to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As these are scholarships, 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 with financial need, especially if you are a woman or if you are studying STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), law, or business. 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, phone, or through the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Rick George Family Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Rick George Family Foundation 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 Rick George Family Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
