Through the generous support from RBC, Humber Polytechnic has launched two Indigenous support programs for students and recent graduates from Humber and the University of Guelph-Humber: the RBC Grad-Ready Program for Indigenous Students and RBC Peer-to-Peer Indigenous Support System.

RBC Peer-to-Peer Indigenous Support System 

The program will pair Indigenous students who may be new to postsecondary education with upper-year Indigenous students to help them transition academically, socially and culturally to post-secondary life. This program will help continue building a strong Indigenous student network at Humber, with the goal of fostering academic success, greater health and wellness, and improved cultural engagement.

Available services include:

  • Directing students to required academic, cultural, health and social resources
  • Recommending financial support options, including available bursaries and scholarships
  • Providing information about events that support Indigenous students
