Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for this award supporting Indigenous students from the Northwest Territories in any post-secondary program.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact George Blondin to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, 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 from the Northwest Territories who is pursuing a post-secondary education. 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 a student portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask George Blondin how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask George Blondin 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 George Blondin whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Read the official award page end-to-end. Confirm you meet every requirement before you start.
Check the official source for the current deadline: save a copy and submit at least 24 hours early.
The biggest mistake is providing a generic bio.
Winners instead share a personal story about their connection to the Northwest Territories and their Indigenous heritage to show why this specific memorial award fits them.
The biggest mistake is using a generic teacher for a reference.
Winners instead use a mentor or community leader who can speak to their character and their commitment to their studies.
The biggest mistake is waiting until the final deadline.
Since there are three windows (August, November, and February), try applying in the earliest window that fits your enrollment to get your funding sorted sooner.
