Seger Family Bursary for STEM

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding available to Indigenous students in STEM programs across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Seger Family Foundation 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 pursuing a career in the sciences or engineering and want to reduce your financial stress while studying. You have three deadlines to choose from: 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 the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Seger Family Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Seger Family Foundation 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 Seger Family Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
