We encourage students with First Nations, Métis and Inuit ancestry to voluntarily self-identify. Proof of ancestry is not required. By self-identifying, you help to monitor the success of the programs and services we offer and help identify ways we support the success of Indigenous students in our schools.

Parents and guardians of students (under the age of 18 years) or students (18 years and older) with First Nations, Métis and Inuit ancestry can self-identify by completing the form here.

Visit the Indigenous Education webpage for more information.

The Métis Student Bursary Program provides bursaries to Métis students at 43 Ontario post-secondary institutions. Application deadlines are school-specific, and bursary recipients are announced in the winter. Students may reapply for bursaries and/or scholarships each year when they register for school. The funding amount of the bursaries will vary based on the funding available each year.

For eligibility and application deadlines, please visit the Métis Nation of Ontario website.

The Government of Canada has compiled a search tool to assist Indigenous students with accessing post-secondary financial supports across the country. This includes bursaries and scholarships offered by governments, universities, colleges, private and public companies, individual Canadians, organizations and more.

Interested students can filter by province, area of study, institution, and eligibility requirements to ensure they search for the bursary, scholarship or incentive that is right for them.
