Providing aspiring creators from underrepresented communities in Canada and the US with access to post-secondary education

Shape the Future of Play


Applications for the 2025/2026 scholarship cohort will open in spring 2025. We look forward to receiving your application!

At Spin Master, everyone is welcome in our sandbox. We value differences and are dedicated to building an environment where people feel valued, respected and supported. To support this objective, we are giving students from equity-seeking communities (BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, people with disabilities or women) the opportunity to hone their trade and be a part of the next generation of creators, inventors, designers and entrepreneurs in children's entertainment.

The Spin Master Future of Play Scholarship Program will provide eight aspiring creators from underrepresented communities in Canada and the US with access to post-secondary education within their fields . On top of financial support for their studies, these students will also have the chance to grow through mentorship opportunities with Spin Master employees.
