Snimikobi Algonquin First Nation

After twenty-six 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.

The TD Scholarship for Indigenous Peoples Application Portal opened at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 1, 2025, and will close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on October 31, 2025.

Important: This scholarship is awarded one year in advance. Students who apply in Fall 2025, if selected, will receive funding for their post-secondary studies beginning in Fall 2026.
