Bishop’s to strengthen Indigenous student support, initiatives through BMO funding

Bishop’s University will be strengthening its Indigenous student support and initiatives thanks to a four-year $200K funding commitment from BMO. With the donation, Bishop’s will strengthen its commitment to providing Indigenous students with safe, inclusive, and empowering spaces. The fund will be used to reduce student financial barriers through bursaries and emergency funding and support land-based programming and cultural activities. “Thanks to partnerships like the one with BMO, we are able to offer students enriching experiences that strengthen their connection to their culture, support their personal development, and reinforce their commitment to their identity and heritage,” said Bishop Principal Sébastien Lebel-Grenier.
