The TD Scholarships for Community Leadership are offered to students who help support change, nurture progress and contribute to making the world a better place. Have you shown exceptional initiative in making a meaningful and lasting difference in your community? Then you may qualify for one of our Community Scholarships. It’s not just about marks in the classroom, but rather the marks you have made on your community.
We’re interested in hearing from students who have demonstrated consistent and outstanding dedication to solving a community problem or making their community a better place. For example, you may be cleaning up the environment, promoting social justice, or fighting child poverty. Check out what some of the past scholarship recipients have done to improve their community.
