The Indspire Star Scholarship for Business/Engineering

About this award

Get $5,000 a year for four years if you are an Indigenous student entering a Business or Engineering program at a Canadian university.

You get $5,000 for each of the four years of your academic career. 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 student with a strong academic record who is pursuing a professional degree in business or engineering. You can apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check The Indspire Star Scholarship for Business/Engineering's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. Selection criteria aren't published — ask The Indspire Star Scholarship for Business/Engineering how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask The Indspire Star Scholarship for Business/Engineering 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. To keep this four-year renewable scholarship, you must complete your program requirements each year and maintain an average grade of 75% or a 3.0 out of a 4.0 GPA (Grade Point Average — a number that summarizes your overall academic achievement). You also need to participate in or lead campus clubs, student professional associations, or cultural programs.
