The Indigenous Bar Association is pleased to announce the establishment of a scholarship foundation for Indigenous law students. The foundation was established in July, 2003 as an independent charitable non-profit corporation. The purpose of the foundation is to recognize the abilities and commitment of Aboriginal students in law school. The scholarships are awarded to successful student candidates who are in need of financial assistance, have achieved well academically and have contributed to their communities.

We are actively seeking financial contributions to the foundation from individuals, corporations or other bodies to assist us in achieving our objectives. Official tax receipts will be issued to those who contribute. For contributions please fill out the form below:
