About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Rogers 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 under 25 who has shown strong leadership and a deep commitment to helping your community. No deadline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check Rogers's program page or call their office to confirm when applications open and close this year. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Rogers how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Rogers 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. It renews, but the conditions for keeping it aren't listed here, so confirm with Rogers what you need to maintain.
