Eligibility
Have you shown exceptional 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. The program is open to students with an average of 75% and up (outside Quebec), or a minimum R score of 26 (in Quebec), who are supporting positive change in their communities.
TD is committed to helping create the conditions where everyone has a chance to succeed in a changing world. The TD Scholarships for Community Leadership are awarded to students who are helping to support change, nurture progress and contribute to making the world a better place.
