Southport Indigenous Scholarships
As a part of this Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program, Southport distributes thousands of dollars every year to students pursuing post-secondary education. Southport is continuing their annual Indigenous Scholarship in which a total of $2,000 will be awarded to Indigenous community members pursuing post-secondary studies.
Donating 1% of all annual revenues earned back to the community and throughout the region through a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program is one way Southport proudly supports its community. Since 2020, this has resulted in over $200,000 being returned to the community.
To be eligible for the 2023 Southport Indigenous Scholarship, applicants must:
- Be Status, Non-Status, Inuit, or Métis.
- Have resided in the Central Plains Region for a minimum of 12 months.
- Be admitted to, and enrolled in, a post-secondary educational program commencing within the current fiscal year (Apr 2023-Mar 2024)*.

- The post-secondary educational program that they are enrolled in;
- What their plans are upon completion of their academic program;
- How they exemplify Southport’s commitment to philanthropy and volunteerism within their community;
- And, why they believe themselves to be the best candidate for the scholarship.
