Work Placement Program for Indigenous Students

Every year, two full-time Indigenous students are each awarded a scholarship of $4,000 per year for tuition costs (renewable up to four years), combined with the possibility of a paid summer or part-time (during the academic year) work placement at the Bank of Canada.

Work placement opportunities are determined based on the recipient’s field of study and the Bank’s business requirements. Recipients who reside or attend a post-secondary institution outside of the National Capital Region may be offered the option of working at one of the Bank’s regional offices: Halifax, Montréal, Toronto, Calgary or Vancouver. Relocation assistance may be provided if required.
