The Watt Scholarship

About this award

$2,500 for Canadian Inuit students currently in post-secondary programs focusing on art, history, or culture — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.

You can receive $2,500 through this scholarship. 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 a Canadian Inuit student with a deep interest in art, history, and culture. You have three different deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask Indspire (the national charity that manages this funding) how and when you will hear back about your application. Selection criteria aren't published — ask the Inuit Art Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds, though they do award this to two people annually. Ask the Inuit Art 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 the Inuit Art Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
