About this award
Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students studying music or fine arts.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Robert L. Jamieson 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 with a passion for music or fine arts who needs financial help to continue your education. 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 online portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Robert L. Jamieson how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. They may consider your volunteer work and academic success alongside your financial need. Ask Robert L. Jamieson 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 Robert L. Jamieson whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Who qualifies
You qualify if you are an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation. You must be attending a post-secondary institution at any level of study and be enrolled in a program for music or fine arts. You must also show demonstrated financial need.
