Aboriginal Bursaries

Need financial help to take that next step in your education? This is the place to start.

The Aboriginal Bursaries Web site is a searchable list of bursaries, scholarships and incentives across Canada, offered by governments, universities and colleges, private and public companies, individual Canadians, organizations and others.

The majority of awards on this list are targeted directly at Aboriginal students but could vary by group such as First Nation, Metis or Inuit. Some awards are specific to a region, place of residence, a school or a field of study.

To obtain more information about bursaries for Aboriginal people in Canada, you can visit our page on the background of this site.

Use the drop-down menu below to see the awards that may be available for you.
