        While some First Nations directly administer funding for their students, others must go through a tribal council or educational organization, such as the <a class="font-medium underline" href="https://www.nnec.on.ca/">Northern Nishnawbe Education Council (NNEC).</a> Each of these will have different policies and procedures that you will need to follow when applying for funding. Note: not every student will get the same amount of money, and some students may not meet the criteria for the funder at that time.

        <li>As soon as you can, talk to your school counsellor or your community’s Education Director to find out how to apply for this funding.</li>
        <li>There are additional funding and supports for full time students living with dependents (children) including access to free childcare.
