About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students pursuing a career in criminal law or criminal justice.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Emond Publishing 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 person who wants to spend your career working in criminal law or criminal justice. You can apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Emond Publishing how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Emond Publishing 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 Emond Publishing whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Personal Statement
The biggest mistake is writing a generic essay about wanting to be a lawyer.
Strategy
Winners instead explain exactly why they are drawn to criminal law and how they intend to support the calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (the national commission created to address the history and effects of the residential school system).
Support
The biggest mistake is providing a basic character reference.
Strategy
Winners instead secure letters from mentors or professors who can speak to their specific passion for criminal justice and their commitment to Indigenous legal advocacy.
Strategy
The biggest mistake is applying only once.
Strategy
Because there are three separate deadlines (August 1, November 1, and February 1), you should check if you can apply during multiple cycles to increase your chances.
