The Randhawa Rising Stars Scholarship is a four-year financial award for BIPOC students studying business in Ontario.
Students enrolled in a recognized 4-year Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Business Administration program at an accredited Ontario university are eligible to apply. A successful applicant will receive $5,000 per year to go towards their tuition for each of the 4 years of their program.

The funding has been generously provided by the Randhawa family of Toronto.
