About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary to help Indigenous students from Northern Ontario cover education costs in STEM, health, or education.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Trottier Family Foundation 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 student from Northern Ontario who needs extra financial help to afford your schooling. 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 Trottier Family Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Trottier Family 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 Trottier Family Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Support
The biggest mistake is using a generic reference letter.
Strategy
Winners instead use referees who can specifically vouch for their resilience and their connection to their Northern Ontario community.
Strategy
The biggest mistake is waiting until the final deadline.
Strategy
