News Education Indspire’s Building Brighter Futures: Bursaries, Scholarships and Awards (BBF)

Indspire’s Building Brighter Futures: Bursaries, Scholarships and Awards (BBF) program opens doors through education

May 22, 2020
Since 2004, Indspire has provided over $115 million in financial support to more than 37,500 First Nations, Inuit and Métis students. All Building Brighter Futures donations are matched by the Government of Canada allowing us to be double the impact for students. For a complete listing of Building Brighter Futures Supports, please visit indspirefunding.ca.
 
How BBF is Supporting Students
 
Our Program is Growing
 
Our program has more than doubled in the last six years! This year, over 6,000 applications were processed – the highest number of applications ever received!
 
This year we were able to provide more money for individual First Nation, Inuit and Métis Students
 
On average, the award amount for 2019-2020 recipients was over $800 higher than last year. This means more money goes to individual First Nation, Inuit and Métis students to help with their education.
 
Our team continues to work to improve our program, reduce wait times and fund as many students as possible
 
We have upgraded our student information database to ensure we can quickly match students with awards and make it easier for students to submit applications.
 
Our focus remains on YOU!
 
Building Brighter Futures’ funding model is unlike any other in the country, wherever possible funds are awarded to a student to use as they wish – tuition, childcare, food, cultural support, shelter, travel, etc.
 
Bursaries, Scholarships and Awards for Post-Secondary Education
 
Post-Secondary Education Programs
 
Full and part time studies in college, university, skilled trades, apprenticeships, and technology programs.
 
There is one application for all of Indspire’s bursaries, scholarships, and awards (with a few exceptions that you’ll see below). You only need to complete the application once to be considered for all applicable bursaries, scholarships, and awards. September 2020 to August 2021 academic year.
 
Deadlines: August 1, November 1, February 1 at 11:59 p.m. EST
 
The Building Brighter Futures: Bursaries, Scholarships and Awards program is made possible thanks to generous supporters and federal and provincial governments. While we work to increase the amount of funding available each year, due to the growth in the number of applications, we’re not able to fund every student that applies.
