Funding Opportunities
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. Many of you may still be eligible for funding within your own community or workplace.
However, in case you are an individual who is ineligible for financial assistance because you are not affiliated with a band or settlement, because you live off reserve because you aren't registered in a full-time degree program, or because you have already received the maximum level of funding available through your band or settlement office, there are a few bursary programs for which you might be eligible.
CILLDI Bursary
Deadline: April 15, 2023. Sunday April 23, 2023

Note: Only a limited number of these bursaries are available.
Please apply through our online form here. If you have troubles applying online, let the CILLDI office know by emailing cilldi@ualberta.ca to request a paper application.
