Contrary to popular belief, Canadian Indigenous students are not guaranteed funding for post-secondary education. And as they tell us, lack of financial resources is their primary barrier to completing their education. That\u2019s where Indspire comes in, providing bursaries and scholarships to First Nation, Inuit, and M\u00e9tis post-secondary students, so they can achieve their full potential and live their dreams.<\/p>\n

The path to post-secondary begins in high school, so we also reach out to youth while they are in grades 9 to 12, showing them the exciting options that are open to them if they complete their diploma.<\/p>\n

One way we do this is through our Soaring: Indigenous Youth Career Conferences \u2013 <\/em>free, one-day conferences held in cities across the country.<\/p>\n
