Post Secondary Funding Programs
DGGR Student Financial Assistance
If you are a Délı̨nę beneficiary, you may be able to get funding from the Dene Gha Gok’ǝ Réhkw’ı (DGGR) to help you pay for your education. For eligible students, they can get funding to go towards their tuition and a monthly living allowance. This funding is top-up funding and is not meant to cover all of your tuition and living expenses, but is meant to add to other funding sources available to students (for example, GNWT Student Financial Assistance (SFA)). The application forms are below.
Student Financial Support Program Application – Form A
Student Financial Support Program – Form B – Student Enrolment
Student Financial Support Program – Form C – Continuing Student
The DGGR also offers Grad Awards for Délı̨nę beneficiaries finishing their programs. You must apply using the form below within 6 months of graduating.

If you are a Délı̨nę beneficiary and have worked at a summer job in Délı̨nę or completed a practicum in Délı̨nę, you may be able to get an award for this too. Please apply using the form below after you have finished your job or practicum.
Funding for Students Outside of the NWT
If you are a member of the band formerly known as the Délı̨nę First Nation AND are a permanent resident of someplace outside of the NWT, you may be able to get funding through Canada’s Post-Secondary Student Support Program, which is delivered by the Délı̨nę Got’ı̨nę Government. This funding is available for students in post-secondary programs and also university college preparation programs. There is funding available for eligible students for tuition, monthly living allowance, and travel costs. If you are eligible, you may also be able to get DGGR Student Financial Assistance (if you are a Délı̨nę beneficiary as well). The application forms are below.
Student Financial Support Program Application – Form A
Student Financial Support Program – Form B – Student Enrolment
Student Financial Support Program – Form C – Continuing Student
Student Financial Support Program Application – Form E - Travel Funding
If you are a resident of the NWT, then you will apply for your (federal) funding for your studies from through the GNWT SFA program (and then you cannot apply for the Délı̨nę AADNC funding as you will be ineligible as per policy). Please apply for SFA here. Note that SFA has strict deadlines to apply. You may be able to get the DGGR student financial assistance as a top-up as long as you are a registered Délı̨nę beneficiary.
