About this award
Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for funding if you are an Indigenous student in your 3rd year of Pharmacy, STEM, or Business studies.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Sobeys Capital Incorporated to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, 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 entering your third year of post-secondary education in a specific professional or technical field. You have three different deadlines to meet: 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 Sobeys Capital Incorporated how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Sobeys Capital Incorporated 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 Sobeys Capital Incorporated whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Who qualifies
You must have any Indigenous affiliation and be in your 3rd year of study. Depending on your program, there are different geographic requirements: if you are in a Pharmacy program, you must be in Nova Scotia; if you are in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) program, you must be in Nova Scotia or Ontario; if you are in a Business program, you can be from any province or territory.
