Overview

The mission of the Southern First Nations Secretariat​ Post-Secondary department is to assist eligible member First Nation life-long learners in their pursuit of higher educational opportunities. We strive to enrich the experience of the learner by supporting and advocating while they are on their academic path to self-empowerment.

The
goal of the Post-Secondary Department is to continually increase the number of student graduates, while maximizing the limited funds in accordance with funding guidelines, to enrich oneself, their family, and their Nations.
For full details about the SFNS Post-Secondary Program, please see the Student Assistance Policy.
