Inuit Post-Secondary Education Strategy

Indigenous Services Canada with Inuit land-claim organizations, Canada

Scholarship overview

The Inuit Post-Secondary Education Strategy closes the post-secondary attainment gap between Inuit and non-Indigenous students through distinctions-based, regionally delivered support. Budget 2019 committed $125.5 million over 10 years from 2019-2020, with a further $21.8 million ongoing.

Funding agreements go to Inuvialuit Regional Corporation, Makivik Corporation, Nunatsiavut Government and Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated, with Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami as National Coordination Secretariat. Each regional organization decides how funds reach students.
