Wood Indigenous Bursary

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for one of four awards available to Indigenous students in engineering, trades, business, HR, or finance.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Wood Canada Limited 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 technical or business leadership, particularly if you belong to one of the specified First Nations or live in the eligible provinces. 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 — whether it is by email, phone, or through the Indspire portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Wood Canada Limited how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Wood Canada Limited 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 Wood Canada Limited whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
