Financial Aid

Student Success Services Emergency Bursary 

The First Nations University of Canada Student Success bursary is intended to assist eligible students who are experiencing an unexpected financial challenge that may impact their ability to stay in school. The bursary will assist students who can demonstrate that they require short-term urgent financial assistance to continue progressing in their studies. Urgent financial needs may include immediate living expenses such as groceries, housing, basic utilities, medication, day-care fees, etc. 

Students may only apply for this bursary once per academic year. This bursary is not meant to serve students on an ongoing basis. The application must demonstrate that receiving the bursary will assist students to stay in school. Students are encouraged to exhaust other sources of funding prior to accessing this bursary. 

Details:

First Nations University of Canada students have a few options for financial aid. 

  • If you are of Treaty Status and are registered with a First Nation Band, you can contact your band’s post-secondary counsellor for funding procedures. 
  • If you are of Métis ancestry, you can contact your Métis local for further information.
