UPEI Indigenous Students Bursary Series

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an annual bursary to help cover your education costs if you are an Indigenous student at UPEI.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact University of Prince Edward Island 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 identify as Indigenous and need extra financial help to afford your studies. You can apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask University of Prince Edward Island how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask University of Prince Edward Island 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 Prince Edward Island whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
