BCCAFC - Post Secondary Student Support
The Post-Secondary Student Support Program (PSSSP) provides eligible First Nations students with funding to access education opportunities at the post-secondary level, including university and college entrance preparation programs.
Students must meet all eligibility requirements below:
First Nations students who are registered under the Indian Act
Are affiliated with a BC band OR are on the BC General list AND do not have band membership and are thus ineligible to apply for funding through their band *
* Please note: we cannot provide funds to students whose bands have fully expended their funds; BCAAFC funds are exclusively for students without band membership.
