Yes, I'd be delighted to do that.
In fact, I think there is some bilingual material here that will tell you real stories of real indigenous students who have been supported.
This is a program that operates with the support of government funds, individual donations, and the corporate sector. It provides much-needed support to first nations, Inuit, and Métis students throughout the country.
Last year the request was the needed amount from students, which was just under $40 million. We were able to provide over $10 million. It was a banner year for us, but nowhere near the need.
This program is available. There's a call and deadlines for application. The amounts are awarded by a juried process of indigenous professionals who determine need. We look at marks. We look at financial need. We look at whether they have also asked elsewhere for funds and are coming to us for a top-up We look at indigenous identity. And we look at whether they have thought through their career plan. All of these pieces go into the determination of the funds that are given.
