About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for one of three annual awards for Indigenous students at select Canadian universities.

The provider does not post a fixed dollar amount — contact Wells Fargo 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 are an Indigenous student attending one of the partner universities and need extra financial help to cover your education costs. 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 Wells Fargo how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. They distribute this award annually to (3) three indigenous students. Ask Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
