About this award

Three annual awards are available for Indigenous women, non-binary, or two-spirited students in Health, Environment, Law, or Social Services — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Miik Foundation 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 woman, non-binary, or two-spirited person pursuing a career in helping others through health, environmental, law, or social services. 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 through a portal. Selection criteria aren't published, though the foundation considers financial need as the main factor along with your grades and how you contribute to your community. Ask Miik Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Miik Foundation 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 Miik Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
