University of St. Michael’s College in the University of Toronto Award for Indigenous Students

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for financial support available to Indigenous students in various post-secondary programs across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact University of St. Michael’s College to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, 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 higher education while demonstrating financial need or a strong commitment to your community. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check University of St. Michael’s College's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. Selection is based primarily on demonstrated financial need, though the committee also considers your academic performance and how you contribute to your community. Selection criteria aren't published in detail — ask University of St. Michael’s College how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask University of St. Michael’s College 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 University of St. Michael’s College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
