About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students in Saskatchewan pursuing a social work degree.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Saskatchewan Blue Cross 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 living in Saskatchewan who wants to improve health-related services and representation for Indigenous communities by becoming a social worker. You have three different 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 Saskatchewan Blue Cross how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Saskatchewan Blue Cross 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 Saskatchewan Blue Cross whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
