Scholarships for Youth – Outward Bound Canada Scholarships for BIPoC Youth Leaders
Due to an overwhelming number of requests for our scholarship for Black youth, Indigenous youth and youth of colour, we are currently building a waitlist for applications. To be added to the waitlist, please contact admissions@www.outwardbound.ca to let us know you are interested in financial assistance.
Outward Bound Canada offers full scholarships for youth who identify as Black, Indigenous (First Nations, Métis or Inuit) or as a Person of Colour, who demonstrate an interest in developing their leadership skills, in efforts to positively impact and give back to their community. We strive to provide programs across the country that offer a supportive and inclusive environment.
Scholarships for Youth give young people the opportunity to fund their participation on select Outward Bound Canada programs. The award provides youth with the chance to join other young leaders from diverse social, cultural and economic backgrounds, and lived experiences on an extended wilderness-based leadership expedition, to connect with themselves and their peers; and to further develop their leadership potential.
