Beginning in Fall 2021 (early application deadline April 30, 2021).
To tell you a little more about our program, it helps pave the way for Indigenous Students to successfully transition to undergraduate studies using small cohort-style classes and a supportive atmosphere. We offer first-year academic credit courses that integrate humanities and social sciences with Indigenous perspectives. Although a fairly young program, we have had the opportunity to open the door to a university education for our students through our unique approach to build foundations in math and writing as well.
I have attached (as both an image and a PDF) a one-page flyer including some information about our program and our contact information to this email. I would also like to emphasize that besides graduating students, this program may be of particular interest to any current (or former) youth in care since they may qualify for financial support to cover some of the costs of their education. These may range from Provincial or SFU institutional Tuition Waivers, to living costs! Interested applicants can consult our online frequently asked questions for additional information or apply via our on-line application.
I would greatly appreciate if you could share this opportunity with other staff, counsellors and Indigenous students who you think may benefit from learning about a program such as ours!
