We’re donating one million dollars in bursaries for Indigenous students

We are very pleased to be supporting Indigenous post-secondary students in Canada through student bursaries organized by the Indigenous charity Indspire. Over a five-year period, we will contribute one million dollars to fund the iA Financial Group Indigenous Bursaries.

As such, $200,000 per year will be awarded annually to students (from 2022 to 2026). Half of the funds will go to students in business programs and the other half will go to the students with the greatest financial need for their education costs. This financial support for Indigenous students is in addition to the $200,000 donated by iA in 2021 to the same student bursary program.

“We are very pleased to support the success of Indigenous students through this donation,” says Denis Ricard, President and Chief Executive Officer of iA Financial Group. “This initiative is a reflection of our values and our presence across Canada. We believe in the importance of education to help people succeed, and therefore we are investing more and in the long term in this cause.”

At iA Financial Group, we support and celebrate diversity in all its forms. We strive to provide and be recognized as an inclusive workplace for all regardless of ethnic origin, nationality, language, religious beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, family situation or physical or mental disability.
