PSSSP/UCEPP funding is administered by First Nation Bands (or communities) and is commonly referred to as “sponsorship.” Funding for PSSSP/UCEPP comes from Indigenous Services Canada (ISC), which develops annual guidelines for program administration. Many Bands receive requests for funding that exceed the amounts provided by ISC. Scholarships are judged in March by a selection committee after the school enrolment census at the end of February. Applicants are notified of their outcome in March or April, and winners’ cheques are mailed at the end of Term 1. Most of our scholarships are for families in financial need, so this is the key criterion.
