The Small Gosling Family Award for Computer Science

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding to support your Computer Science studies if you are an Indigenous student in Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact The Small Gosling Family 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 student pursuing a degree or diploma in Computer Science and can show that you need financial help to cover your education costs. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask The Small Gosling Family how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. They consider your financial need first, but they also look at your grades and how you help your community. Ask The Small Gosling Family 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 The Small Gosling Family whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
