About this award

You can receive $10,000 annually for up to three years. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. The money is intended to help you cover your tuition and other costs like textbooks and administrative fees. This is for you if you are an Indigenous law student who is currently pursuing your legal education in Ontario. Deadlines come around three times a year on August 1, November 1 and February 1, so aim for whichever one is next. No specific notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you will hear back via email, phone, or a portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Aird & Berlis LLP how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Aird & Berlis LLP 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. It renews, but the conditions for keeping it aren't listed here, so confirm with Aird & Berlis LLP what you need to maintain.
