The Boyd-Myles Bursary for Indigenous Students

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding available to Indigenous students attending any post-secondary program across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact The Boyd-Myles Foundation 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 an Indigenous student pursuing your education and can show that you have a financial need for extra funding. 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 online portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask The Boyd-Myles Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask The Boyd-Myles Foundation 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 Boyd-Myles Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
