Build a bridge to a world of possibility.

Each year, we select a cohort of exceptional Canadian university students to self-organize internships in Asia with a $10,000 scholarship.

Applications for the 2025 cohort are now closed.

Build a life without fear.

For 14 years we have empowered students with a global and entrepreneurial mindset and community that lifts each other to new heights.
