It is a myth that all Aboriginal people in Canada have their post-secondary education paid for. The federal government only provides funding for some Status First Nations and Inuit people (as defined by the Indian Act) through the Post-Secondary Student Support Program (PSSSP). Furthermore, since 1996, there has been an overall 2% annual spending cap placed on PSSSP funds. The lack of an accessible post-secondary education for Aboriginal people is a concern for all orders of government. In 1996, the federal government capped funding increases at 2% for The Post-Secondary Student Support Program (PSSSP) that funds status First Nations and Inuit students to attend post-secondary education. “Since then, tuition has increased dramatically as well as the Aboriginal population eligible to attend post-secondary education, not to mention an increased cost of housing” To read the full report on PSSSP, please click here.
