St. Paul s University College

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for annual awards supporting Indigenous students at the University of Waterloo who show financial need and academic success.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact St. Paul's University College to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As these are awards, 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 attending the University of Waterloo who has balanced strong grades with financial challenges. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask St. Paul's University College how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask St. Paul's University College 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 St. Paul's University College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
