The bursary program, supported by BlackNorth Initiative with contributions from Scotia Wealth Management, Canada Basketball, Roots and Wheaton Precious Metal, awards eight USports student athletes with a $5,000 bursary. Each recipient will also be matched with an industry mentor through the BlackNorth Connect Program, gaining access to guidance in areas such as résumé development, public speaking, and other career-focused skills aligned with their personal goals.
