The Alberta Heritage Scholarship Fund Indigenous Careers Award will be awarded to encourage Indigenous peoples (First Nations, Metis and Inuit) living in Alberta to pursue and complete post-secondary studies in certificate, diploma, applied degree and bachelor's degree programs. Applicants must be enrolled at an eligible public post-secondary school or First Nations College. To receive this award, students must also be enrolled in the fall and/or winter term (a term is defined as a study period of up to 17 weeks in length), and at least 60 percent of a full course load (40 percent of a full course load if student is a student with a documented disability). The school determines what constitutes a full course load in each program. Applicants must also be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident of Canada or have protected person status under Canada's Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. Co-op students, students in brokered programs, and students who are participating in an official exchange may be eligible. For more information on how to apply, applicants contact the Student Awards or Scholarships Office at their school, or visit their website. Applicants must also contact their school for application deadlines. Please visit the award's website or contact the Alberta Heritage Scholarship Fund for more information.
