TORONTO — During a virtual ceremony Tuesday night, Rogers Communications awarded Ted Rogers Scholarships to more than 375 Canadian youth to support their post-secondary studies this fall and in recognition of their community leadership and volunteerism.
Through the Ted Rogers Scholarship program, Rogers provides $2,500 renewable scholarships for up to four years or $10,000 to recognize young leaders nominated by Rogers’s 18 community partnership organizations, including YMCA, Toronto Community Housing, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada, Indspire, GRIS-Montréal and Pflag. The program also offers entrance scholarships of $2,500 to eligible Rogers employees or their children.
Collectively, the Ted Rogers Scholarship Class of 2021 recipients represent more than 125 communities across Canada, with nearly three-quarters self-identifying as members of equity-seeking groups including Black, Indigenous, people of colour, LGBTQ2S+ and young women.
During the five-year history of the program, Rogers has awarded more than $7 million in scholarships to almost 1,800 youth across Canada.
