The Dixon Mitchell Investment Counsel Indigenous Scholarship and Bursary Award

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding available to Indigenous students across Canada studying business, finance, or accounting.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Dixon Mitchell to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship or 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 who is passionate about pursuing a career in the financial sector. 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 Indspire portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Dixon Mitchell how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Dixon Mitchell 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 Dixon Mitchell whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
