Russel Metals Indigenous Student Bursaries

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students in any level of study.

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 — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a post-secondary education, especially if you are training in the trades. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. 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.
