Rogers Communications – Ted Rogers Scholarship Fund for Indigenous Students
About this award
Apply for a renewable award for Indigenous students starting their first year of full-time college or a 4-year undergraduate degree. Apply through Indspire's central Building Brighter Futures program — one application covers all sponsor pools.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Rogers to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student who has shown strong leadership and a deep commitment to helping your community. No deadline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check Rogers's program page or call their office to confirm when applications open and close this year. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Rogers how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Rogers during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. This is a renewable award, but renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Rogers what you need to maintain to keep the funding. How to apply: This funding is administered through Indspire's Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships program. Students complete one central application that's evaluated against all 360+ of Indspire's funding pools (including this one) — you don't apply to the sponsor directly. The Apply button on this page routes to Indspire's portal automatically. For the full program description, all three application deadlines, and detailed eligibility, see Indspire Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships on FundMyCourse.
