TD Scholarship for Indigenous Peoples
The TD Scholarship for Indigenous Peoples, is a new scholarship program tailored specifically for students from the Indigenous community.
Working closely with AFOA Canada, the TD Scholarship for Indigenous Peoples was designed to support students from the Indigenous community as they continue their journey pursuing their education and career goals. The scholarship will support by alleviating financial concerns so students can focus on their studies and gain valuable work experience through an internship with TD.
At TD, we recognize there is more work to be done on our collective journey towards Truth and Reconciliation. Supporting community initiatives that promote continued education, career development, and foster a sense of belonging is important. We believe society is stronger when we work together, and we can help be a catalyst for dialogue to bring people, communities, and cultures together.
For application details, please see below as well as visit the TD website here: https://www.td.com/…/indigenous-student-scholarships…/
Scholarships are available for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit who are members / citizens of a First Nations, Métis or Inuit community. You must be a permanent resident of Canada and have applied for or are currently enrolled in a full-time, minimum 2-year program with an eligible post-secondary institution in Canada. Applications will open starting on Friday, November 18, 2022, at 4:30pm ET, and ending on January 16, 2023, at 5:00pm ET.
