Established in 2011, the FNIGC National Student Bursary is awarded each year to exceptional First Nations college and university students. In 2026, FNIGC will select four recipients, who will each receive a $2,500 bursary and a complimentary registration to The Fundamentals of OCAP® online course (a $500 value).
