The Chief Harry St. Denis Awards

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for one of two awards supporting Indigenous students studying Environmental Science.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Chief Harry St. Denis to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous leader dedicated to protecting lands, waterways, and species at risk on your territories. You can apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Chief Harry St. Denis how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Chief Harry St. Denis 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 Chief Harry St. Denis whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
