About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Indigenous Institutes Consortium 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 a female First Nations student from Ontario who is pursuing your education at a member institute. You have three potential deadlines to meet: August 1, November 1, or February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, a portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Indigenous Institutes Consortium how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Indigenous Institutes Consortium 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 Indigenous Institutes Consortium whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
