Emergency Assistance
Four Directions Indigenous Student Centre has emergency bursary funding available to Indigenous students. These bursaries are meant to address unforeseeable emergency expenses, which are defined as something that cannot be anticipated or predicted but requires immediate financial funding. Students are eligible to apply as often as needed.
Food Security
Students are able to access our kitchen for snacks and pantry items at any time. If you are struggling with food insecurity, please let a member of the Four Directions team know, and we can provide you with resources and additional support.
Needs-Based Assistance
New and current Indigenous students are eligible to be considered for all scholarships, bursaries, and awards where they meet the eligibility criteria. Further, Queen's has specific need-based assistance available for verified First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students. Learn more about specific Indigenous awards.
