Jun 4, 2025

Posted in: Uncategorized

Métis Nation University Sponsorship provides opportunities for full-time Métis university students to reach their academic goals. The program is funded by the Métis Nation-Saskatchewan and administered by the Gabriel Dumont Institute until March 31, 2026. Students are selected using a blind adjudication process and ranked on criteria to meet Métis Nation-Saskatchewan priority areas. The deadline to apply is 11:59 p.m. July 1, 2025.

Métis Nation—Saskatchewan has set priorities for 2025-26

Priority Order for Sponsorship Allocation
Below are the key areas of impact MN-S has identified that align most with MN-S goals. Labour market needs, future trends within our Métis government, and societal impact were considered when choosing the priorities. Funding is limited, and not all students may be approved for sponsorship. Sponsorship will be allocated as follows:

1. Full-time undergraduate/bachelor’s degree students in tuitioned (student-paid) programs.

2. Graduate/master’s degree. Workforce competitiveness was considered for graduate/master’s degree as a priority #2. As the job market becomes more competitive, employers increasingly seek candidates with advanced degrees for specialized roles, leadership positions and areas requiring in depth expertise.

3. Full-time undergraduate/bachelor’s degree students in tuition-free programs.

4. Professional studies.

5. Postgraduate/doctoral degree.
