Dear Members,

​

The applications for post-secondary funding for September start 2019 to April 2020 are now on the website under education on the members tab.

​

Deadline is May 15, 2019

​

 

Only applications received by May 15th will be the priority for funding for academic year 2019-2020. Late applications will be subject to funding available.  Please note that funding is not guaranteed. All applicants are asked to apply for all scholarships, bursaries, grants and student loans if necessary.  See the financial aid office at the college or university of your choice: some academic counsellors may also be able to assist you. It is up to you to find the alternate source of funding. The Indigenous Services Canada website can help link you to over 700 possible sources of alternate funding.

 

If supporting documents are not available, submit your application regardless. Make note that you will forward them ASAP. If you are not sure, call me directly: 705-254-2702, EXT 227.  

 

For the current students, please send in your fall semester transcripts to show your progress. These are required documents for continued funding. They are past due: fall transcript submission extension given to February 15th, 2019. 

 

As the education person for Missanabie Cree First Nation, I sit on Omushkegowuk Education Board, the Indigenous advisory board for Sault College, the Huron-Superior Catholic School Board and the Ontario Post-secondary counsellors association.  And as invited, to other boards, schools, universities and colleges where members attend.  If the parents of Missanabie Cree First Nation want me to assist them with issues where their children attend, they may contact me directly.  Sometimes Jordan’s principle applies to their child’s situation – these services are available across Canada.
