About this award
Get up to $60,000 for law school or one of four $8,800 awards for any undergraduate program — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.
Depending on your program, you can receive different amounts. For the Torys LLP Scholarships for Indigenous Law Students, you get $20,000 annually, renewed for an additional two years, for a total funding package of $60,000. For the Toronto Metropolitan University Indigenous Student Awards, Supported by Hydro One, there are four undergraduate awards of $8,800 each distributed annually. Both of these are scholarships, not loans, so you do not have to pay them back. These awards are for Indigenous students. This includes you if you have First Nation status recognized by the Federal Government, or if you identify as non-status, Inuit, or Métis. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, or February 1. No specific notification timeline is posted publicly — before you start your application, check Toronto Metropolitan University's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. Selection criteria aren't published in detail, though the Hydro One awards prioritize financial need, community contribution, and academic merit. Ask Toronto Metropolitan University how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Toronto Metropolitan University 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 fully listed for all awards, though the Torys LLP scholarship is renewed if you continue to meet eligibility requirements. If you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Toronto Metropolitan University what you need to maintain to keep your funding.
