Toronto, ON, October 23, 2025 – Yorkville University is proud to announce the launch of the Canada’s Future Leaders Bursary – a bold new initiative designed to catalyze ambition, accelerate opportunity, and empower tomorrow’s leaders.
This 25 per cent tuition bursary is available to both new and current Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) students (online or on-campus) who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents. The bursary aims to propel students forward on their educational journeys and help them gain the tools and mindset necessary to lead with purpose in an evolving business world.
“At Yorkville University, we believe leadership is honed through opportunity,” said Dr. Julia Christensen Hughes, President and Vice Chancellor of Yorkville University. “The Canada’s Future Leaders Bursary represents our investment in those who will shape Canada’s future – students with the courage to return to school, the willingness to lead, and the desire to make an impact. Yorkville remains committed to making education accessible and the future, achievable.”
Automatically applied on a pro-rated, per-course basis, the bursary ensures that support is accessible from the moment students begin or continue their studies. It cannot be combined with other Yorkville University awards, although BBA student recipients of Yorkville’s Indigenous Student Tuition Bursary or Canadian Armed Forces Bursary will see their bursary increase from 25 to 35 per cent upon launch.
Yorkville’s future-focused BBA program equips learners with the critical thinking, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world. The Canada’s Future Leaders Bursary reinforces that mission by charging students toward success so they can focus on developing the leadership capabilities that Canada needs most.
