  • Aspiring Indigenous students wanting to make waves in the world of finance, business and leadership have been given a $100,000 boost from CIBC to help access relevant programs at Royal Roads University. The CIBC Entrance Award will provide qualifying Indigenous students with support in the range of $2,000 to $10,000 towards tuition and fees.

The article from VicNews discusses a significant $100,000 donation to Royal Roads University aimed at supporting Indigenous students. This donation, made by the West Shore Developers Association, will fund the Indigenous Student Success Bursary, which helps cover tuition, books, and living expenses, thereby reducing financial barriers for Indigenous students. The initiative is part of a broader effort to increase Indigenous representation at the university, where currently, Indigenous students make up about 10% of the student body. The bursary not only aids in financial support but also aligns with the university's commitment to reconciliation and creating an inclusive educational environment. The donation was celebrated at a special event attended by university officials, donors, and community members, highlighting the community's commitment to educational equity.
