The BMO Financial Group/Lime Connect Canada Scholarship and Internship
Program for Students with Disabilities is a program designed to attract
talented students enrolled full-time in post-secondary education in
Canada. Successful applicants will receive a scholarship, compete for a
paid summer internship and ultimately land a job at graduation with BMO
Financial Group. Comprehensive training, coaching and mentoring will all
be provided to set you on the path for success.
The program consists of the following three stages:
Stage 1: A scholarship of $2,500 for one year is awarded to recognize the
achievements of students with disabilities who are enrolled in full-time
studies at an accredited Canadian post-secondary college or university.
Stage 2: Students awarded scholarships will be eligible to compete for a
four-month paid internship in one of a variety of areas. In this program,
interns will be provided with training, coaching and mentoring throughout

financial services industry is required.
Stage 3: Upon successful completion of the internship, a permanent
full-time position will be offered at graduation.
