Are you interested in Indigenous governance, community leadership, or public administration?

The Public Administration and Indigenous Governance Program (PAIG) is designed for current and future First Nation leaders in community governance and Indigenous organizations. The program offers learning rooted in Indigenous knowledge and pedagogy, with flexible options designed with Indigenous students, working professionals, and those with family and community responsibilities in mind.

Financial support may be available, including a $1,000 entrance award and access to a technology fund through the Yellowhead Institute. FNTI also offers bursary funding for students seeking financial assistance.

Applications are open until mid-August for those interested in beginning their studies in September 2026.
