A:

We strongly encourage Indigenous people to apply. If you identify as an Indigenous person in your application and your application is successful, you will immediately be offered a scholarship. 

The scholarship amount depends on how many Indigenous people apply. It will at least cover the cost of the training ($330) and the cost of travel to training retreats. It may extend to covering the cost of travel to and attendance at the Water Week Summit. 

If you are not Indigenous but have a low-income and need financial assistance to be able to participate in the program, please note this in your application – we will see what we can do.

The scholarship funds are separate to the small campaign budget each fellow will receive to run local campaign activities.
