Montreal university waives tuition for Quebec Inuit, First Nations students – Nunatsiaq News

Sep 17, 2024

Starting this fall, those Indigenous students from communities in Quebec are eligible for waiver on tuition, mandatory fee

Starting this fall, Inuit and First Nations students at Concordia University whose communities are situated anywhere in Quebec no longer have to pay tuition.

While Concordia is not the first Canadian university to launch a tuition-free program for Indigenous students, it has chosen a more inclusive approach by widening the area the program applies to.

“At Concordia, our line of thinking was a little bit different,” said Manon Tremblay, senior director of the office of Indigenous directions at the Montreal university.
