CIC bursary program ‘opens doors’ for Indigenous students at North West College – meadowlakeNOW

May 20, 2025

A recently expanded provincial bursary program is opening doors for more Indigenous students at North West College (NWC), which is among several regional institutions now eligible for post-secondary funding through the Crown Investments Corporation (CIC).

“The Indigenous Bursary Program has been an amazing contribution to allow the college to reach out to the community, to encourage them, to give them an incentive to feel comfortable in coming back to post-secondary education,” said Dr. Priscilla Lothian, the college’s vice president of Marketing and Student Experience.

Alongside NWC, the program now provides funding to students enrolled at Northlands College, Suncrest College, Southeast College, Great Plains College and the Gabriel Dumont Institute (GDI). These institutions join the list of existing recipients, which includes the University of Saskatchewan, University of Regina, Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies (SIIT) and Lakeland College.
