The Longhouse Aboriginal Youth Mentorship Award has grown; not everyone chooses to go to post-secondary and as such, we’ve renamed the program to the Longhouse Business Award, selecting promising business students or entrepreneurs under 25 years of age who want to make an impact.

*3 of 5 awards will have preference going to an Indigenous applicant including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis

Applicants will be evaluated on a rubric valuing: vision, impact, initiative, communication, and by demonstrating a commitment to self-growth & learning.

“Because of scholarships, not only was I able to start Longhouse, but by graduation, it had grown into a successful, full-time focus.  When the Longhouse Business Award helps contribute to the self-development & self-sufficiency of others, my passion and energy for business grows.”

Founder & CEO – Longhouse
