BC Aboriginal Network on Disability Society (BCANDS) is offering the Indigenous Support for Student Learning Program (SSLP) for students across Canada. This program is a time-limited project for Indigenous students who have limited financial resources, including those students living with disabilities. Students must be of low-income, enrolled in formal education (online, remote, on-site), and actively attending. The SSLP is now accepting applications from eligible students across Canada to receive a laptop, disability related software, and hardware accessories. Their goal is to assist low-income Indigenous students and those with disabilities in their continued education and success. This program will run until March 31, 2021. More information and applications are available on the BCANDS website: www.bcands.bc.ca/isslp.
