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
Indigenous students are welcome to use our kitchen, grab snacks or pantry items at any time.
If you are struggling with food insecurity, please speak to a Four Directions staff member and we can provide you with a Food Basics gift card and/or other supports that may benefit you.
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.
