About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact SLR Consulting 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 in the later stages of your degree or diploma, particularly those focusing on the environment and earth sciences. Deadlines come around three times a year on August 1, November 1 and February 1, so aim for whichever one is next. 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 SLR Consulting how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask SLR Consulting 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 SLR Consulting whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
