Indigenous Student Resources

Ontario’s universities recognize the need to encourage Indigenous students to participate in postsecondary education, and many offer Indigenous students an additional and/or alternative pathway for admission to an undergraduate or graduate program. Click each university’s link to learn more about their supports for Indigenous applicants.

During the university application process, you can declare your Indigenous ancestry or heritage – First Nation (status or non-status), Inuit or Métis. Declaring your Indigenous ancestry allows the universities you choose to reach out to you with information about supports and resources for Indigenous students.
