Scotiabank Supports Aboriginal Graduate Business Education

On February 22, 2006, the University of Saskatchewan announced a $250,000 gift from Scotiabank that would be used to support graduate Aboriginal programming in the Edwards School of Business.  This gift was given as part of the University of Saskatchewan's Thinking the World of our Future campaign - a highly successful campaign that has engaged our friends and supporters from across the country and, indeed, from around the world. 

Scotiabank MBA Bridging Program

The Scotiabank MBA Bridging Program is designed to encourage the next generation of Aboriginal business leaders to consider upgrading their skills with an Edwards MBA from the U of S.   

The Scotiabank MBA Bridging Initiative aims to assist potential MBA candidates who may come from a variety of post-secondary education backgrounds whose current work experience puts them in management roles.  Whether you have a Native Studies degree, an Education degree or a Political Science degree, the Scotiabank MBA Bridging Initiative will introduce you to our business school environment.  Potential MBA candidates will become familiar will the Edwards MBA program.
