The K-12 Education Grant program supports BC First Nations Kindergarten to Grade 12 classes by funding projects that enhance learning experiences, foster higher educational aspirations, and promote student growth. Projects should strengthen connections to First Nations culture, traditions, and identity, building confidence and capacity.

Can funding be used for salaries or honoraria?
