The State Group Inc. Indigenous Bursary

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for one of five Indigenous bursaries for students in trades programs.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact The State Group Inc. to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a career in the trades. You can apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask The State Group Inc. how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask The State Group Inc. 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 State Group Inc. whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
