As part of its commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, and in collaboration with Indigenous Education staff members of local school boards, ACCESO International has initiated an Indigenous Student Post-Secondary Bursary program which helps First Nations, Inuit and Métis youth in the Ottawa and Ottawa Valley areas with their post-secondary education.

The bursaries assist students with various education-related costs including tuition, books, school supplies, computer equipment, accommodations, transportation and groceries.  

The first two recipients began their studies at an Ottawa-area college in the fall of 2022.  With your generous support, we’ll be able to provide additional bursaries for many more students in the future. Please note that bursary recipients choose their own program of study, as well as the college or university they attend.
