 About the program

 

The program aims to improve the employability of First Nations students by providing them with funding to access education and skills development opportunities at the post-secondary level.

Eligible post-secondary levels include:

​

  • community college and CEGEP diploma or certificate programs

  • undergraduate programs

  • advanced or professional degree programs

 

The program is administered by KWES in accordance with the national program guidelines. ISC provides funding for this program as part of core funding agreements with Indigenous governments and organizations.

Eligible costs covered by the program may include tuition, books, travel support and living allowances.

​

In 2017-2018, ISC invested $90 million over 2 years in the Post-secondary Student Support Program and the University College Entrance Preparation Program for First Nations and Inuit students. This funding will support over 4,600 students.
