Aritzia Indigenous Excellence Scholarship

As a company whose primary Canadian operations take place on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the Coast Salish Nations — xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlil̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) — Aritzia is committed to reconciliation efforts year-round. 

As part of this work, Aritzia is pleased to launch the Aritzia Indigenous Excellence Scholarship in partnership with Indspire. Each year, five $5,000 scholarships will be awarded to women-identifying Indigenous students who demonstrate excellence in post-secondary academic achievement and involvement in the community.
