Indigenous Student Centre

The Indigenous Student Centre(ISC) supports Indigenous students in reaching their highest potential. We do this through a culturally-responsive space, programs, and services that honour Indigenous cultures and languages. We also foster Indigenous presence and inclusion, and increase Indigenous access, engage Indigenous communities, and facilitate transition, retention, graduation and advancement of our Indigenous students.

Kenneth R. Good Family Indigenous Student Award

All HBA 1 students who self-identify as Indigenous* Learners, will be considered for the Kenneth R. Good Family First Nations Student Award. The award, valued at $7,000, is granted annually to an Indigenous HBA student, based on academic performance (minimum 70% average). This award was established by a generous gift from the Late Kenneth R. Good (HBA '53) and the Good Family.

Indigenous Entrance Scholarships

All admitted applicants to Ivey’s MSc, MBA, AMBA, and EMBA programs, who self-identify as Indigenous* Learners, will automatically be considered for one of five Indigenous Entrance Scholarships per year, valued at up to $10,000.

*Indigenous refers to the Original People of Turtle Island (North America) including First Nations, Metis and Inuit people of Canada as well as Native American, Native Alaskan, and Native Hawaiian people from the United States.

LEADER Project

In 2018, LEADER partnered with the Ivey’s Dean’s Office to explore the opportunity to offer our programming in Canada’s Indigenous communities.
