Rotman School of Management Scholarship for Indigenous Students
About this award
Apply by July 1 for a scholarship supporting Indigenous students pursuing a Master's degree at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto. 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 Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing advanced business studies at the graduate level. You must apply by July 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto 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. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain. 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.
