RBC Reimagine Scholarships

The RBC Reimagine Scholarship will provide 100 scholarships annually valued up to $5,000 each for individuals seeking upskilling or reskilling opportunities to grow in their current career, or transition into a new field. Are you:
  • Exploring opportunities to upskill or reskill, but require the financial resources to start?
  • 25 years or older and have been out of school for 3+ years?
Apply today! The RBC Reimagine Scholarships are offered in two cycles. The first is open for applications between April 13 and June 4, 2026. The second cycle runs from August 31, 2026 to October 8, 2026. If you're eligible, and you've got big plans and even bigger dreams, why wait to apply? Cycle 1: Apply between April 13 and June 4, 2026. Cycle 2: Apply between August 31 and October 8, 2026. Please note: The RBC Reimagine Scholarship 2026 program will accept 500 submitted applications for review per cycle. If 500 applications have been submitted prior to the Cycle 1 application deadline of 1pm on June 4, 2026, the portal will close, regardless of the date. If 500 applications have been submitted prior to the Cycle 2 application deadline of 1pm on October 8, 2026, the portal will close, regardless of the date. Eligible Learning Opportunities: Your program must be at least 16 weeks long, and no more than 3 years — which means traditional 4-year bachelor degrees are not eligible. Diplomas, including Advanced or Technical Diplomas, Post-Graduate Certificates and Diplomas, CEGEP technical programs, and even Master's programs are eligible for an RBC Reimagine Scholarship. Professional career certifications are also eligible: programs like Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), Project Management Professional (PMP), trades certifications, and more. Canadian credentialling programs, for people with credentials earned outside Canada, are also eligible. Micro-credentials may be accepted if they're part of a stackable series, and have a total duration of at least 40 instructional hours. Any program or credential you choose must be provided by a recognized Canadian institution, and either upcoming, or still in progress when you apply for an RBC Reimagine Scholarship. You are eligible if you
  • Are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada; or have proof of status as a Protected Person or Convention Refugee from Immigration and Citizenship Canada (claimants are not eligible)
  • Are an adult learner aged 25 or older
  • Have been out of school for 3+ years
  • Are active in the workforce or seeking employment (not retired)
  • Require financial assistance to pursue your learning opportunity
  • Are entering or enrolled in part-time or full-time studies
Your course must:
  • have a duration of at least 16 weeks and no longer than 3 years, whether pursued part-time or full-time
  • Be provided by a Canadian education institution which has recognized provincial degree/diploma-granting powers, or their affiliates (e.g., vocational schools, colleges, universities)
  • Be upcoming or still in progress when you apply
We will not support:
  • Programs leading to 4-year undergraduate programs, including accelerated programs, Professional degrees or to 2-year DEC (Diplôme d’études collégiales)
  • Any type of preparatory year program
  • Single-course micro-credentials or standalone modules that do not form part of a broader stackable pathway
  • Online platforms such as Coursera, Udemy or LinkedIn Learning
All RBC scholarships are administered by Universities Canada.
