Post-Secondary Student Support Program
The Post-Secondary Student Support Program provides non-repayable financial support for First Nations students, registered under the Indian Act, to advance towards a recognized post-secondary education credential as prioritized and directed by First Nations.
The program's objective is to improve socio-economic outcomes for First Nations by supporting First Nations in providing eligible students with funding to access education opportunities at the post-secondary level, consistent with the principle of First Nations control of First Nations education.
The overall aim of the program is to provide First Nations with access to inclusive and quality education to close the education gap between First Nations and non-Indigenous Canadians by increasing First Nations' access to post-secondary education.
To be eligible, you must:
- Be a Yellow Quill First Nation band member aged 18+
- Have successfully completed grade 12 / Adult 12 / GED
- Be accepted into a post-secondary program at an eligible institution
- Submit an application prior to established deadlines
