While some First Nations directly administer funding for their students, others must go through a tribal council or educational organization, such as the Northern Nishnawbe Education Council (NNEC). Each of these will have different policies and procedures that you will need to follow when applying for funding. Note: not every student will get the same amount of money, and some students may not meet the criteria for the funder at that time.

• As soon as you can, talk to your school counsellor or your community’s Education Director to find out how to apply for this funding.
• There are additional funding and supports for full time students living with dependents (children) including access to free childcare. More information in Students With Children
