Federal Budget 2017 committed to “undertake a comprehensive and collaborative review with Indigenous partners of all current federal programs that support Indigenous students who wish to pursue post-secondary education. The purpose of the review will be to ensure that these programs meet the needs of individual students while supporting attendance at, and completion of, a post-secondary degree or credential.

The Sept. 5, 2019 update posted to the official CIRNAC website announced the completion of the review.
