The objectives of the NPSAP program are to:

1. Provide financial assistance, subject to the availability of funding, to eligible Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation band members in pursuit of Post Secondary education.
2. Assist Post Secondary students with the tools and resources necessary to graduate with the qualifications comparable to other Canadians with similar educational and socio-economic backgrounds.
3. Improve the employability of the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation band members by providing eligible students with access to education and skills development opportunities at the post secondary level. This is expected to lead to greater participation of students in post secondary studies, higher Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation graduation rates from post secondary programs, and to improve individual, family and community well-being for band members.
4. Ensure that a maximum number of Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation band members are approved for assistance under the NPSAP criteria.

The NPSAP is not a full funding program. Students who have educational costs that are higher than the maximum allowances under the NPSAP are encouraged to seek and secure supplementary financial assistance. Please see Appendix A for a list of scholarships and bursaries.
