WHAT ARE THE AWARDS?
The Business Council of Manitoba represents the best
of business leadership, working to make Manitoba an
exciting place to live, work and invest. The Business
Council recognizes the potential in our Indigenous
community and offers financial support to Indigenous
citizens who attend post-secondary institutions in our
province through this award program.
The Business Council offers awards to assist with
the cost of tuition, books and supplies during the
academic year. Each award is $3000 for university
and $2000 for college students.
All applicants are eligible to reapply each year of their
studies but may only receive the award three times.
