The Andrew Rattee Bursary for Indigenous Students

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students enrolled in university programs across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact The Rattee Family 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 a First Nation, Inuit, or Métis student pursuing a university degree and want to eventually bring your expertise back to your community. 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 the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask The Rattee Family how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask The Rattee Family 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 The Rattee Family whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
