Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding available to Indigenous students in any post-secondary program across Canada.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Shell Canada to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As these are scholarships, the 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 post-secondary education, especially if you live in a community near Shell operations or are studying a field relevant to the oil and gas sector. 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, a portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Shell Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Shell Canada 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 Shell Canada whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Read the official award page end-to-end. Confirm you meet every requirement before you start.
Double-check every field, save a copy, and submit at least 24 hours early.
The biggest mistake is ignoring the preference for oil and gas and technology fields.
Winners instead highlight how their specific program—even if it is a general degree—connects to the energy sector or technical trades.
Explicitly link your studies to the industry in your application.
The biggest mistake is providing generic references.
Winners instead secure letters from community leaders or instructors who can vouch for their connection to their Indigenous community and their academic potential.
