Inequities in educational outcomes for Indigenous peoples, resulting from the residential school system, still exist today. As recently as 2021, only 16% of Indigenous Census respondents hold a university degree, compared to 36% for the overall population (Statistics Canada, 2021).

By giving to the Indigenous Student Bursary, a dedicated fund to support Indigenous students who demonstrate financial need and academic commitment, you are meaningfully contributing to Reconciliation and removing barriers so they can focus on what truly matters: learning, growing, thriving, and dreaming big.

Indigenous students are future leaders, knowledge-keepers, educators, artists, and innovators looking to make the world a better place. By making a gift to the Indigenous Student Bursary Endowment, you will inspire them to use their talents to shape a brighter future for all.
