About this award
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Tara Energy Services 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 with any Indigenous affiliation who has shown a clear financial need for help with education costs. 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 an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Tara Energy Services how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. They may consider your community involvement and your academic performance alongside your financial need. Ask Tara Energy Services 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 Tara Energy Services whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Who qualifies
You qualify if you are an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation attending a postsecondary institution across Canada. This includes any level of study at a college, university, technical college, or apprenticeship program. While you must show demonstrated financial need, the provider may also look at your academic merit and how you contribute to your community.

More details
Financial Need
Avoid providing a vague statement about needing money.
Instead, provide a detailed breakdown of your tuition gaps and living expenses to prove your demonstrated financial need.
Support
Avoid using a generic character reference.
Instead, secure letters from community leaders that specifically describe your involvement in and contribution to the community as a whole.
Strategy
Avoid applying only once.
Since there are three separate deadlines (August 1, November 1, and February 1), you should track which one best aligns with your school's tuition billing cycle.
