APPLICATION PROCESS

1. ELIGIBILITY FOR POST-SECONDARY STUDENT SUPPORT
Eligibility will be confirmed for the right to funding through the membership registry system
in accordance with the Sagamok Membership Law.

Applicants must be a resident in Canada for 12 consecutive months prior to the date of
application for funding. However wherever there is doubt the applicant may be requested
to provide proof of residency.
Note: A student who applies for membership to another First Nation must understand
that once his/her application is processed by the receiving First Nation and confirmation
in writing is received by Aboriginal Affairs & Northern Development Canada to delete the
member from Sagamok’s membership listing – sponsorship from the Sagamok PSSSP will
therefore be immediately discontinued without notice.
