Post Secondary

The Muscowpetung Saulteaux Nation Post Secondary Students Assistance program is a federally funded program by the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada. The PSSA Program follows their own Post Secondary Education Policy as well as the Indigenous and Northern Affairs National Program Guidelines. The program provides supports to students attending post secondary education such as tuition, living allowance and book allowance.

PSSAP student selections are done by the Muscowpetung Saulteaux Nation Education Authority Board and the Post Secondary Coordinator. The board consists of the following Muscowpetung members: Blair Stonechild, Kerry Benjoe and Charles Pratt.

The PSSA Program provides funding to those students who are eligible and meet the required deadlines. The Education Authority Board meets for a comprehensive meeting in July where all selections are made and all funding is allocated for the upcoming academic year. There is a deadline in October – the Board will meet if there is any funding available to allocate.
