Métis Student Bursary Program
In 1998, the Metis Nation of Ontario established a bursary program, to assist
Métis students in their pursuit of post-secondary education.
Through the Province of Ontario's Student Opportunity Trust Fund
program, the MNO made financial contributions that were matched
by the Province resulting in a total endowment of 4.2 million across
Ontario. At present there are 32 Colleges and Universities currently
participating in the Metis Student Bursary Program (MSBP) within
Ontario.
How to Apply:
Each school oversees the administration of the MSBP, as such, applications
are to be made directly through the school. Generally the application
can be found at the Financial Aid office, Aboriginal Student Liaison
Centre, or Student Support Services and are accessible to students
after registration in the fall.
MSBP Details:
The MSBP is an established Endowment Award for Métis students
and the actual bursaries are paid from the interest that accumulates
annually. Metis students may re-apply for the MSBP with each registered
school year. Deadlines are established by each school, however,
applications are generally available after fall registration and
the award recipients are announced by the school in the new year.
MSBP amounts vary, depending on accumulation of interest and the
administration process of the school.
