Inuit
Inuit students who have been residing outside of the Northwest Territories or Nunavut for 12 consecutive months could be eligible for funding through the Post-Secondary Student Support Program.  Inuit students residing in these territories are eligible for funding support from their respective territorial governments.

What costs are covered?
Financial assistance may be provided in the following areas:

• Tuition support for part-time and full-time students that may include fees for registration, tuition and the cost of books and supplies required for courses.
• Travel support for full-time students who must leave their permanent place of residence to attend college or university. Students may qualify for funding to return home twice per academic year.
• Living expenses for full-time students to help cover the costs such as food, shelter, and transportation.
