Inuit Post-Secondary Education Strategy (IPSES) funding supports Inuit post-secondary students across Canada with: application fees, tuition, travel costs, child care, books and supplies, living expenses, mentorship and counselling, and more.
On behalf of Inuvialuit Regional Corporation (IRC) and IRC’s Board of Directors I am very pleased to announce the launch of the Inuit Post-Secondary Education Strategy. Through negotiations and collaboration with Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, our partners across Inuit Nunangat and the Government of Canada, we are able to provide Inuvialuit beneficiaries living throughout Canada with funding to attend a post-secondary education (PSE) program of their choice. This program aims to address some of the social inequities that serve as needless barriers for many Inuvialuit wishing to attend a post-secondary education program. Expenses like travel, childcare, tuition & books and a living allowance can be considered.
