TD Indigenous Student Scholarships

After twenty-three years of helping Indigenous communities and organizations manage and govern through a focus on management, finance and governance practices and skills, AFOA Canada has come to learn the barriers the Indigenous community faces.  Students from the Indigenous community face unique challenges and systemic barriers that can make getting a post-secondary education difficult.

The scholarship program is tailored specifically for Indigenous Peoples and managed by AFOA Canada. TD understands the unique challenges and systemic barriers we face as a People. That’s why we have worked closely with TD to customize a scholarship to meet the needs of students from the Indigenous community.
