About the Program

The Shalom Gamarada Indigenous Residential Scholarship Program supports First Nations students to access higher education, secure housing, and culturally enriching experiences.

Our mission is to empower the next generation of Indigenous leaders through education, allyship, and community.

Ideal Experience

  • Background in not-for-profit, education, Indigenous affairs, finance, law, social impact, or related sectors.

  • Understanding of fiduciary duties and governance best practices.

  • Financial acumen or fundraising experience (highly regarded but not mandatory).

  • Demonstrated commitment to First Nations self-determination and equity.

Personal Attributes

  • Purpose-driven and collaborative

  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
