Application deadline: March 8, 2026
Are you an editor? Or a scholar? A researcher? Do you work in publishing? Do you use the index at the back of books? Have you ever written one? That’s what we do at the Indexing Society of Canada / Société canadienne d’indexation (ISC/SCI), and we want you to join us.
If you are BIPOC or a member of an underrepresented or marginalized group, the 2026 Diversity in Canadian Publishing Bursary could cover your training and membership fees.
Indexing is a specialized field, involving close reading, analysis, and organization. Beyond writing back-of-book indexes, indexers use their skills in areas as diverse as ebook indexing, metadata and taxonomies, and project management, to name only a few!
The 2026 bursary will be granted to one person and will cover fees for an approved indexing program, two years of ISC/SCI membership with listing, and entry into the mentorship program. Please refer to the bursary application for more information, including eligibility requirements.
To ask questions about the bursary, ISC/SCI, and indexing in general, please contact us at tide@indexers.ca.
