Indspire Building Brighter Futures bursaries & scholarships

About this opportunity

Indspire's Building Brighter Futures program funds First Nations, Inuit and Métis students in full- or part-time college, university, skilled trades, apprenticeship and technology programs, including graduate study. There are three deadlines a year — August 1, November 1 and February 1 (11:59pm ET). In its most recent year Indspire made more than 9,500 awards worth over $33 million, and funds can be used for tuition, childcare, food or housing. One application is matched against many awards. An emergency fund is also open from October 15 to February 1 for students already funded or applying.

What you get

• One application considered for many awards
• Flexible use of funds
• Three intakes a year
