TD Scholarships for Community Leadership

Scholarship Value: $70,000
Awards Available: 20
Award Deadline: Nov 13, 2024

Since 1995, TD has awarded millions in TD Scholarships for Community Leadership to recognize students who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to community leadership. TD Scholarships for Community Leadership recipients receive up to $70,000 for tuition and living expenses as well as opportunities for paid summer employment, peer networking and mentorship. Supporting young community leaders is one way TD is helping build a more inclusive and sustainable tomorrow.

Have you shown leadership in helping to make a meaningful and lasting difference in your community? We’d love to hear about your community leadership efforts and what inspired you to get involved. We’re more interested in the mark you’re making in the world than the marks you’re getting in the classroom. This scholarship program is open to student leaders with an average of 75% and up (outside Quebec), or a minimum R score of 26 in Quebec, who are helping to support positive change in their communities.

The TD Scholarships for Community Leadership are available to students who are helping to support change, nurture progress and contribute to making the world a better place, in their communities.

What is community leadership?

We’re interested in hearing from students who have demonstrated consistent and outstanding dedication to helping improve the world by solving a social or community problem. For example, you may be helping to clean up the environment, promote social justice, or fight child poverty in your community. Check out what some of the past scholarship recipients have done to help improve their community.

How are the recipients chosen?

Up to 80 finalists are interviewed by five regional selection panels. From there, at least two scholarship recipients are chosen from each of the following five regions:

  • Atlantic Canada
  • Quebec
  • Ontario
  • Prairies/Northwest Territories/Nunavut
  • British Columbia/Yukon
