​​​The M’Chigeeng First Nation Post Secondary Educational Support Program is designed to provide eligible registered M’Chigeeng First Nation members the financial support to allow them to pursue a college or university education.

Post Secondary Education means a program of studies, offered by a post secondary institution (college or university) for which the completion of secondary school (OSSD) studies or its equivalent is a prerequisite. Students with basic level/workplace stream education (OSSD) or (OSSC) may be considered for admission on an individual basis through a special needs program at the institution of their choice.

If you do not have an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or an equivalent, you may apply as a mature student. All mature student applications are considered individually, pre-testing may be required by the institution to determine readiness for post secondary studies.
The M’Chigeeng First Nation Post Secondary Educational Support Program is administered by the M’Chigeeng First Nation Education Department.

Individuals who gain Indian status by virtue of the 1985 revision of the Indian Act (Bill C-31) are provided financial support on the same basis as other post secondary students.


​The program provides financial support and counseling to individuals who have been accepted into an accredited Post Secondary Institution; however, due to limited funding within the post secondary educational support program, all decisions will be made based on the policy, priority listing and availability of funds.

​​​The MFN Post Secondary website has recently undergone some construction, in order to provide applicants/students with more resources and information, that they can access online at anytime. ​We added a multitude of pages providing information on such things as how to apply, who can apply, levels of assistance, responsibilities applicants/students must practice to receive access to funding for their educational endeavors, etc. Explore the site's pages for more on how you can reach your goals and how we can help you achieve them!

​The MFN POST SECONDARY EDUCATION APPLICATIONS for the 2022-2023 academic year, both Full and Part-Time are now AVALIABLE in the tab above and the Application page. Additionally, the MFN POST SECONDARY GUIDELINES are currently being reviewed and revised.


M'Chigeeng Post Secondary Education is implementing a new way to apply for funding. This application program is called Outcomes Student Portal. We have provided the links below for new student applications and the student portal. Please contact Shelby Roy Post Secondary Navigator via email at postsec@mchigeeng.ca if you have any questions regarding this new portal!

M'CHIGEENG FIRST NATION NO LONGER ACCEPTS POST SECONDARY APPLICATIONS VIA EMAIL. PLEASE APPLY USING THE OUTCOMES STUDENT PORTAL.

It is the applicant’s responsibility to apply to the appropriate Application Centre by their deadline and ensure application is complete, primarily before you apply for MFN PS assistance. Applications will be required to complete the entire application at Ontario College Application Service OR Ontario Universities Application Centre.​
The Post Secondary Counsellor will review your application to see which prioritized criterion you fall under and if your application is eligible, before determining what documents are needed. They will then send you a Check List of the Required Documentation needed for the processing of your application. 

​Please review this list carefully. Your Post Secondary Counsellor will monitor your progress and upkeep your file with these documents. DO NOT DELAY in sending them in. If any documentation is missing you may find your education assistance suspended, until it is submitted. You will only be asked to provide the relevant items needed for your current application.

​If your application has been APPROVED, you will be sent an approval package email containing the approved copy of the Application for Education Assistance showing your approved education assistance budget, along with the duration of assistance. Approved and continued assistance is subject to you maintaining your eligibility.

If your application is NOT​ approved and/or waitlisted, you will be sent a letter indicating the reason it was not approved/waitlisted.
