Indigenous Treaty Partners L’nu Scholarship Funds
Supporting Indigenous youth striving for excellence in academics
Building a path for young Indigenous professionals to enter a more Indigenized workplace
In partnership with the Ulnooweg Indigenous Communities Foundation, ITP has established the Indigenous Treaty Partners L’nu Scholarship Fund. Indigenous Treaty Partners (ITP) is committed to supporting Indigenous communities through capacity building and mentorship. The ITP L’nu Scholarship is another step in that direction.
For every organization that successfully completes ITP training or hires for support, 5% of sales will be donated to the ITP L’nu Scholarship Fund. This fund is designed to support indigenous youth pursuing academic studies in commerce or who have made substantial efforts in creating their own business.
The ITP Scholarship Fund is managed in partnership with the Ulnooweg Indigenous Communities Foundation. Ulnooweg operates as an extension of the communities, uniquely stewarding their needs and supporting their business leaders and entrepreneurs. We are all one team working together towards a vision of self-sustaining, healthy communities.
The Ulnooweg Indigenous Communities Foundation is a registered charity that will help strengthen the relationships between Canada’s philanthropic sector and the First Nations communities of Atlantic Canada.
Canada’s philanthropic sector – registered charities and individual and corporate donors – plays a critical role in the success and vitality of the country. The sector is involved in essential and innovative work in a wide range of fields, including health, education, environmental protection, community economic development, infrastructure, and the arts

Donate to the ITP Scholarship Fund.
Beyond the 5% of profits that is directly donated to the scholarship fund from ITP, all organizations have the opportunity and are invited to donate additional support to the ITP fund. Regardless if an organization has been hired, partnered or worked with ITP, the Partners encourage all businesses to donate and support Indigenous youth in accessing quality education. Where appropriate, the Foundation will issue official tax receipts, valid for income tax purposes.
