About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for financial assistance if you are an Indigenous youth in Canada studying business or leadership.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Impact215 Consortium 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 youth in Canada who is driven to become a leader and make a positive impact on your community. Deadlines come around three times a year on August 1, November 1 and February 1, so aim for whichever one is next. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Impact215 Consortium how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Impact215 Consortium 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 Impact215 Consortium whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
