Simon Fraser University will accelerate new Indigenous programs and student supports thanks to a $5-million investment from the Mastercard Foundation.
Announced Tuesday, the funding will be used to bolster ongoing Reconciliation work underway at SFU, including streamlining Indigenous student enrolment and delivering wrap-around supports for learners to thrive throughout their studies, stay connected with their culture and communities, and develop skills and talents that will make a difference well into their careers.
“I am grateful for this investment in SFU’s commitment to uphold Truth and Reconciliation and support Indigenous students to thrive,” says SFU President Joy Johnson. “Through this partnership with Mastercard Foundation, we will continue our journey towards building lasting and meaningful Reconciliation, belonging and community across SFU’s three campuses.”
