About this award

You will receive a one-time $5,000 scholarship that you can use for any school-related expenses, such as tuition, food, travel, or housing. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. Along with the money, you will complete a work term at one of the Canadian offices of Deloitte Canada. This is for you if you identify as a person with a disability or as neurodivergent, including those with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), or dyslexia. You must submit your application through the online portal by 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday, April 26, 2026. If you are selected, the recruiting team will contact you in early to mid-May 2026 to arrange an interview. Winners are chosen through a multi-step process. After the initial application, you will undergo a behavioural interview and potentially a case-based assessment or an online test, depending on the business area. You will also meet with two team members from the business before receiving a verbal offer and a written contract. Deloitte Canada will send the scholarship to you in one installment before your work term begins. To get your funds, you will need to provide a signed offer letter, photo ID, proof of residence, a voided cheque or direct deposit slip, and completed provincial and federal tax forms. This is a one-time $5,000 scholarship.

Who qualifies

You must be eligible to work in Canada and currently enrolled in a post-secondary education program in Canada, whether you are studying full-time or part-time. You must be completing a diploma, undergraduate, or graduate program and graduating in 2028 or beyond. You must also be interested in completing a work term at Deloitte Canada in Winter 2027, Summer 2027, or Fall 2027. For this specific award, you must identify as a person with a disability and/or as neurodivergent, which includes any physical, mental, intellectual, cognitive, learning, communication, or sensory impairment, or a functional limitation, whether permanent, temporary, or episodic.

Tips for applying

  • Letter of IntentAvoid writing a generic cover letter. Instead, explain exactly how a work term at Deloitte Canada matches your specific career goals and how the $5,000 would change your personal journey. Limit your response to 500 words.
  • ResumeAvoid listing only your courses. Instead, show your involvement in your community and any extracurricular activities you have led. Ensure your CV is updated and saved as part of a single PDF.
  • StrategyAvoid treating the interview as a formality. Instead, prepare for a behavioural interview and a case-based assessment by researching the specific business area you are applying to. Practice explaining your background and objectives clearly.
  • RealismAvoid assuming the work term is strictly four months. Instead, be flexible with your availability, as the term could extend to eight or 12 months depending on the needs of the business and your own requirements.
