The Women at Kinross Indigenous Bursary

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous women from Treaty 3 Ontario studying health, medical, or environmental fields.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Kinross Gold 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 are an Indigenous woman from Treaty 3 Ontario who is passionate about improving health outcomes or protecting the environment. 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 the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Kinross Gold how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Kinross Gold 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 Kinross Gold whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
