Deadline: 15 May 2018
Applicants are invited to submit proposals for the Indigenous Services Canada (ISC)’s High-Cost Special Education Program which helps eligible First Nations students with high-cost special needs to access quality programs and services that are culturally sensitive and reflective of generally accepted provincial or territorial standards.
ISC supports First Nations students’ special education needs through two programs:
- The Elementary and Secondary Education Program funds special education services for First Nations students identified as having mild to moderate learning disabilities. Funding is provided for programming, remedial instruction, clinical services and resource teacher staffing.
- The High-Cost Special Education Program funds band-operated schools for high-cost special education students assessed with moderate to profound learning disabilities. The program funding is student-specific and determined by a formula based on individual student requirements. It is used for direct service support in the form of personnel, adaptive materials and resource services.
Eligibility Criteria
Band councils, federal schools, provincial ministries of education, provincial school boards or districts, private education institutions and organizations designated by band councils.
