Post-Secondary Student Support Program (PSSSP)
The Post-Secondary Student Support Program (PSSSP) provides eligible First Nations students with funding to access education opportunities at the post-secondary level, including university and college entrance preparation programs.
Application Deadlines
November 20, 2020 – for students applying for the Winter 2021 semester (January-April)
March 31, 2021 – for students applying for the Summer 2021 semester (May-August)
How is Funding Allocated?
This funding is intended to increase access to post-secondary education for eligible students, thus our priority is to cover the costs of tuition, fees, and books for as many applicants as possible. If there are remaining funds, we will then look to provide a living allowance to successful applicants based on financial need. The living allowances are meant to be supplementary, they are not meant to cover all living expenses or to replace a regular full-time employment income.
*Please note: funding is limited, not all students may be funded, and partial funding may be awarded.
