Niagara College will be offering renewable scholarships to make education more affordable for former youth in care and First Nations students starting in Fall 2025. The Strong Students, Stronger Futures Scholarship will cover tuition and ancillary fees, with eligibility determined in partnership with First Nations communities and Family and Children’s Services Niagara. The scholarship—which is funded through the college’s Together Campaign—addresses the gaps in funding sources that create a barrier to education for students from equity deserving communities and sovereignty groups. “Developed alongside our partners from local Indigenous community organizations and Family and Children’s Services (FACS) Niagara, the scholarship underscores Niagara College’s strategic commitments to student success and equity and inclusion,” said Niagara Vice-President, Students Dr Chris McGrath.
