There are a few funding sources available to help students attend CILLDI. We strongly encourage you to contact your band's Educational Office or your Treaty/Tribal office for financial assistance in the first instance. However, in case you are an individual who is ineligible for financial assistance there are a few bursary programs for which you might be eligible.
U of A Provost Bursary for CILLDI Students
The University of Alberta's Provost Office assists CILLDI in sponsoring bursaries to support individuals interested in pursuing courses at CILLDI.
The CILLDI Provost bursary will cover the University of Alberta Open Studies application fee, tuition for any two CILLDI courses, and up to $800 for eligible expenses.
