Mastercard Foundation announces funding to boost postsecondary education access for Indigenous students

Third-year Indigenous social-work student Audra Cochrane says that attending First Nations University in Regina has changed her life.

Ms. Cochrane, who is from George Gordon First Nation, a community of about 3,300 people an hour north of the city, said she chose the school because the learning environment is rooted in Indigenous knowledge and culture. For example, she noted that there are services that connect students with elders.
