Society of United Professionals Indigenous Student Award

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for this award supporting Indigenous students in fields like Engineering, IT, Law, and Business.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Society of United Professionals 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 identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a career in a professional field or Indigenous studies. You have three different 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 an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Society of United Professionals how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Society of United Professionals 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 Society of United Professionals whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
