About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for bursaries supporting Indigenous students in any post-secondary program, with a preference for those studying trades.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Russel Metals 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 identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a post-secondary education to build your future. You have three different deadlines to meet: 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 an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Russel Metals how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Russel Metals 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 Russel Metals whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Strategy
