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 — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.

You can receive $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. Because it is a four-year renewable Scholarship, you can get this funding annually for the duration of your degree. This is for you if you are an Indigenous high school student who has a strong academic record and is pursuing a professional degree in business or engineering. 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 through email, a portal, or by phone. 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 funding, you must meet renewal conditions each year. You need to complete the academic requirements of your program, maintain an average grade of 75% (or a 3.0 out of a 4.0 GPA), and take on leading roles in campus clubs, student professional associations, or cultural programs.
