About this award
Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students enrolled in trades programs who show financial need.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Wolseley Canada Inc. 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 pursuing a career in the trades and need extra financial support to complete your training. Deadlines come around three times a year on August 1, November 1 and February 1, so aim for whichever one is next. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Wolseley Canada Inc. how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Wolseley Canada Inc. 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 Wolseley Canada Inc. whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Who qualifies
You qualify for this bursary if you have any Indigenous affiliation and are currently enrolled in a trades program at any level of study. You must also provide proof of demonstrated financial need.
