UOttawa announces full tuition waiver for Algonquin Anishinàbeg Nation students

The University of Ottawa is launching a full tuition waiver for all current and incoming Algonquin Anishinàbeg Nation students, beginning this Fall. The university is seated on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinàbeg Nation, whose traditional territory is spread across western Québec and Ontario. As part of the university’s broader Indigenization efforts, the waiver is intended to reduce financial barriers for Indigenous members of the community and facilitate their access to postsecondary education. “[The waiver] is one more step in our work to embed Indigenous priorities into uOttawa’s governance, infrastructure, pedagogy, and decision-making,” said UOttawa President Jacques Frémont.
