The Haskayne School of Business recognizes the importance of business acumen to a career, no matter what the role or industry. The Haskayne School actively works with community partners to build educational capacity, particularly in Indigenous communities, to help ensure students have the opportunity to attend university. The ASC Capital Markets Award for Indigenous Students was established in 2022 by the Alberta Securities Commission to support Indigenous students pursuing their Bachelor of Commerce degree at the Haskayne School, as part of the ASC’s commitment to advancing Indigenous Peoples’ participation in the capital markets. This newly established award, $7,500 per year, is offered annually to a full-time Indigenous student entering the Haskayne School. The award is renewable in second, third, and fourth year, provided the recipient continues their studies at the Haskayne School. Click Here for more information
