Financial Options

Your Education at Seabird College

Funding

Additional funding for living allowance and other expenses may be offered to students through your band support.  Students can attend Seabird College and Adult Education upon confirmation of registration. Students can attend if they are on the Nominal Roll of their Band (as of September 30th of your registration year) or are on the provincial roll, are a fee payer or are receiving grant or program funding. In addition, a number of programs in our line-up are associated with public post-secondary institutions and therefore are eligible for Indigenous Services Canada Public Post-Secondary Support Program funding. Students will be asked to demonstrate funding prior to full acceptance letters of conditional acceptance will be issued prior to full acceptance.

Scholarships & Bursaries

Scholarships and bursaries targeted towards Indigenous students can open doors to higher education. These opportunities not only provide monetary support but also recognize and celebrate the unique cultural backgrounds of Indigenous communities. By alleviating the economic barriers, Indigenous-focused scholarships empower individuals to pursue their academic aspirations, preserve cultural heritage, and contribute their invaluable perspectives to enrich the educational landscape.

Sponsored

Seabird College pursues grant funding from both the federal and provincial governments in order to run College programs. Programs are offered based on whether we have received funding from either source. The grant funding provides sponsored seats for Aboriginal students. This includes First Nations, Metis, and self-identified students.

Sponsored seats are thus available depending on the following:

  • College receipt of grant funding
  • Student eligibility for grant funding
  • Available seats
  • Minimum registration numbers per program

Sponsored seats may or may not include transportation – this depends on availability.
