- Telesat is committed to supporting a diverse workforce and inspiring the next generation of space talent. Last year, we launched a new scholarship program focusing on Indigenous youth in STEM, opening doors for them to explore technology, satellite communications, and satellite and space engineering careers. Two annual scholarships were awarded for students pursuing bachelor’s degrees, a $15,000 stipend and a paid internship at a Telesat office or teleport in Canada.
