KBRS-Balsam Emerging Indigenous Leaders Scholarship

KBRS is a national executive search and leadership advisory firm. Established in Canada in 1975, the organization includes a team of over 70 professionals dedicated to delivering integrated talent solutions tailored to client requirements. Together with Meridia Recruitment Solutions (a KBRS company) the organization offers expertise covering a full range of strategic talent needs, including recruitment, talent development, HR advisory, DEI advisory, coaching, career transition, and more.

KBRS operates under the highest industry standards, with a people-centric focus and a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are grateful to live and work on many different parts of the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island.

We recognize the far-reaching impact of leadership and the need to support and encourage emerging leaders.

Through the KBRS-Balsam Emerging Indigenous Leaders Scholarship, we aim to empower Indigenous students to advance their education while making a positive impact through leadership.
